4.10.7

mohārthaṃ sukhabhogārthaṃ svargārthaṃ vā parantapa |
kṛtamatyutkaṭaṃ tābhyāṃ tapaḥ sarvaphalapradam ||

And why did they practise such severe austerities? Was it that they had to overpower others, or enjoy pleasures themselves or to reach Heaven that they practised tapasyâ? What fruits did they eventually obtain from such penances?

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
