    ततो विदूरात्परिहृत्य दैत्या दैत्येषु सङ्गं विषयात्मकेषु । उपेत नारायणमादिदेवं स मुक्तसङ्गैरिषितोऽपवर्गः ॥ ७-६-१८ ॥tato vidUrAtparihRtya daityA daityeSu saGgaM viSayAtmakeSu । upeta nArAyaNamAdidevaM sa muktasaGgairiSito'pavargaH ॥ 7-6-18 ॥Those who are very much addicted to this conception of life are called demons. Therefore, although you are sons of demons, keep aloof from such persons and take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa, the origin of all the demigods, because the ultimate goal for the devotees of Nārāyaṇa is liberation from the bondage of material existence. ॥ 7-6-18 ॥

    यतो न कश्चित्क्व च कुत्रचिद्वा दीनः स्वमात्मानमलं समर्थः । विमोचितुं कामदृशां विहारक्रीडामृगो यन्निगडो विसर्गः ॥ ७-६-१७ ॥yato na kazcitkva ca kutracidvA dInaH svamAtmAnamalaM samarthaH । vimocituM kAmadRzAM vihArakrIDAmRgo yannigaDo visargaH ॥ 7-6-17 ॥My dear friends, O sons of the demons, it is certain that no one bereft of knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead has been able to liberate himself from material bondage at any time or in any country. Rather, those bereft of knowledge of the Lord are bound by the material laws. They are factually addicted to sense gratification, and their target is woman. Indeed, they are actually playthings in the hands of attractive women. Victimized by such a conception of life, they become surrounded by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and thus they are shackled to material bondage. ॥ 7-6-17 ॥

In this material world, even those who are apparently advanced in education have the propensity to consider, “This is mine, and that is for others.” Thus they are always engaged in providing the necessities of life to their families in a limited conception of family life, just like uneducated cats and dogs. They are unable to take to spiritual knowledge; instead, they are bewildered and overcome by ignorance. ॥ 7-6-16 ॥

    कुटुम्बपोषाय वियन्निजायुर्न बुध्यतेऽर्थं विहतं प्रमत्तः । सर्वत्र तापत्रयदुःखितात्मा निर्विद्यते न स्वकुटुम्बरामः ॥ ७-६-१४ ॥kuTumbapoSAya viyannijAyurna budhyate'rthaM vihataM pramattaH । sarvatra tApatrayaduHkhitAtmA nirvidyate na svakuTumbarAmaH ॥ 7-6-14 ॥One who is too attached cannot understand that he is wasting his valuable life for the maintenance of his family. He also fails to understand that the purpose of human life, a life suitable for realization of the Absolute Truth, is being imperceptibly spoiled. However, he is very cleverly attentive to seeing that not a single farthing is lost by mismanagement. Thus although an attached person in material existence always suffers from threefold miseries, he does not develop a distaste for the way of material existence. ॥ 7-6-14 ॥
