Srimad Bhagavatam 10.23.30-32

Text 30

grihnanti no na patayah pitarau suta va
na bhratri-bandhu-suhridah kuta eva canye
tasmad bhavat-prapadayoh patitatmanam no
nanya bhaved gatir arindama tad vidhehi

TRANSLATION
Our husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, other relatives and friends will no longer take us back, and how could anyone else be willing to give us shelter? Therefore, since we have thrown ourselves at Your lotus feet and have no other destination, please, O chastiser of enemies, grant our desire.

Text 31

sri-bhagavan uvaca
patayo nabhyasuyeran
pitri-bhratri-sutadayah
lokas ca vo mayopeta
deva apy anumanvate

TRANSLATION
The Supreme Personality of Godhead replied: Rest assured that your husbands will not be inimical toward you, nor will your fathers, brothers, sons, other relatives or the general populace. I will personally advise them of the situation. Indeed, even the demigods will express their approval.

Text 32

na pritaye 'nuragaya
hy anga-sango nrinam iha
tan mano mayi yunjana
aciran mam avapsyatha

TRANSLATION
For you to remain in My bodily association would certainly not please people in this world, nor would it be the best way for you to increase your love for Me. Rather, you should fix your minds on Me, and very soon you will achieve Me.
