एकस्तपस्व्यहमथाम्भसि मत्स्यसङ्गात्पञ्चाशदासमुत पञ्चसहस्रसर्गः । नान्तं व्रजाम्युभयकृत्यमनोरथानां मायागुणैर्हृतमतिर्विषयेऽर्थभावः ।। ९-६-५२ ।।

sanskrit

In the beginning I was alone and engaged in performing the austerities of mystic yoga, but later, because of the association of fish engaged in sex, I desired to marry. Then I became the husband of fifty wives, and in each of them I begot one hundred sons, and thus my family increased to five thousand members. By the influence of the modes of material nature, I became fallen and thought that I would be happy in material life. Thus there is no end to my material desires for enjoyment, in this life and the next. ।। 9-6-52 ।।
