जन्मकर्मवयोरूपविद्यैश्वर्यधनादिभिः । यद्यस्य न भवेत्स्तम्भस्तत्रायं मदनुग्रहः ।। ८-२२-२६ ।।

sanskrit

If a human being is born in an aristocratic family or a higher status of life, if he performs wonderful activities, if he is youthful, if he has personal beauty, a good education and good wealth, and if he is nonetheless not proud of his opulences, it is to be understood that he is especially favored by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. ।। 8-22-26 ।।

english translation

यदि कोई मनुष्य उच्चकुल में जन्मा हो, यदि वह अद्भुत कर्म करे, यदि वह तरुण हो, यदि उसके पास सौन्दर्य, उत्तम शिक्षा तथा प्रचुर सम्पत्ति हो और यदि वह इतने पर भी अपने ऐश्वर्य पर न इतराये तो यह समझना चाहिए कि उस पर भगवान् की विशेष कृपा है। ।। ८-२२-२६ ।।

sanskrit

Although aristocratic birth and other such opulences are impediments to advancement in devotional service because they are causes of false prestige and pride, these opulences never disturb a pure devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. ।। 8-22-27 ।।

english translation

यद्यपि उच्चकुल में जन्म एवं ऐसे अन्य ऐश्वर्य भक्ति की उन्नति में बाधक होते हैं क्योंकि ये झूठी प्रतिष्ठा तथा घमंड के कारण हैं, किन्तु ये ऐश्वर्य भगवान् के अनन्य भक्त को कभी विचलित नहीं करते। ।। ८-२२-२७ ।।
