Srimad Bhagvata Mahapurana: Book 11: Chapter 8: Verses 34-40

Among the (wise) citizens of MithilaI am the only foolish and wicked person in that I expect satisfaction from anybody else than the immortal Lord, who bestows his own Self. He is the friend, most beloved Lord and Self of all embodied beings; to Him shall I offer myself as a price and find enjoyment in Him like Laksmi, who sports with Him, To what extent have mortal men and even celestials,subject to the ravages of Time, been able to give satisfying pleasure or enjoyment to their wives ? Forsooth, Lord Visnu has been pleased with me for some action of mine, as in my heart, full of vicious hope, the feeling of disgust for the world has been engendered,which will lead to happiness. Had I been unfortunate, I would not have met with miseries which have produced the feeling of disgust for the world. It is this despondency through which man attains peace by snapping the fetters of home etc. Placing on my head the benefit rendered by Him and forsaking vicious hopes of sense-enjoyments, I shall seek refuge with the said Lord. Feeling contented with whatever I get and living upon it, and trustirng the Lord, who is my own Self, 1 shall now sport with Him as my husband.

Thus ends the eighth discourse in Book Eleven of the great and glorious Bhagavata-Purana, otherwise known as the Paramahamsa-Samhita.
