संसारकूपे पतितं विषयैर्मुषितेक्षणम् । ग्रस्तं कालाहिनाऽऽत्मानं कोऽन्यस्त्रातुमधीश्वरः ।। ११-८-४१ ।।

sanskrit

The intelligence of the living entity is stolen away by activities of sense gratification, and thus he falls into the dark well of material existence. Within that well he is then seized by the deadly serpent of time. Who else but the Supreme Personality of Godhead could save the poor living entity from such a hopeless condition? ।। 11-8-41 ।।
