mitrāhaṃ vaiśyajātīyaḥ samādhirnāma viśrutaḥ |
dhanavāndharmanipuṇaḥ satyavāganasūyakaḥ ||

O my Friend! I belong to the Vais’ya caste; my name is Samâdhi; I was rich, never I had any jealousy towards anybody; always I used to speak truth and was devoted to religious acts. My wife and sons are very greedy of money and are irreligious; so they cut off all their affections and connections with me, very difficult to cut though, and have driven me out of the house on the pretext that I am very miserly. Thus forsaken by my relatives, I have now come to this forest. You look to be a fortunate man; therefore kindly, O Dear One! give me now your introduction and oblige.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
