Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam · Text 4.26.15
Who is speaking and story frame
न तथैतर्हि रोचन्ते गृहेषु गृहसम्पद: ।
यदि न स्याद्गृहे माता पत्नी वा पतिदेवता ।
व्यङ्गे रथ इव प्राज्ञ: को नामासीत दीनवत् ॥ १५ ॥
na tathaitarhi rocante
gṛheṣu gṛha-sampadaḥ
yadi na syād gṛhe mātā
patnī vā pati-devatā
vyaṅge ratha iva prājñaḥ
ko nāmāsīta dīnavat
Translation
King Purañjana said: I do not understand why my household paraphernalia does not attract me as before. I think that if there is neither a mother nor devoted wife at home, the home is like a chariot without wheels. Where is the fool who will sit down on such an unworkable chariot?
