श्रीशुक उवाच नाभागो नभगापत्यं यं ततं भ्रातरः कविम् । यविष्ठं व्यभजन् दायं ब्रह्मचारिणमागतम् ।। ९-४-१ ।।

sanskrit

Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: The son of Nabhaga named Nābhāga lived for a long time at the place of his spiritual master. Therefore, his brothers thought that he was not going to become a gṛhastha and would not return. Consequently, without providing a share for him, they divided the property of their father among themselves. When Nābhāga returned from the place of his spiritual master, they gave him their father as his share. ।। 9-4-1 ।।

I am not your property.” ।। 9-4-2 ।।
