Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam · Text 10.16.50
Who is speaking and story frame
तस्यैव तेऽमूस्तनवस्त्रिलोक्यां
शान्ता अशान्ता उत मूढयोनय: ।
शान्ता: प्रियास्ते ह्यधुनावितुं सतां
स्थातुश्च ते धर्मपरीप्सयेहत: ॥ ५० ॥
tasyaiva te ’mūs tanavas tri-lokyāṁ
śāntā aśāntā uta mūḍha-yonayaḥ
śāntāḥ priyās te hy adhunāvituṁ satāṁ
sthātuś ca te dharma-parīpsayehataḥ
Therefore all material bodies throughout the three worlds — those that are peaceful, in the mode of goodness; those that are agitated, in the mode of passion; and those that are foolish, in the mode of ignorance — all are Your creations. Still, those living entities whose bodies are in the mode of goodness are especially dear to You, and it is to maintain them and protect their religious principles that You are now present on the earth.
