Prahlada who was curious to know about the sage who emitting pure effulgence said,<blockquote>बिभर्षि कायं पीवानं सोद्यमो भोगवान् यथा । वित्तं चैवोद्यमवतां भोगो वित्तवतामिह । भोगिनां खलु देहोऽयं पीवा भवति नान्यथा ॥ १६॥</blockquote><blockquote>न ते शयानस्य निरुद्यमस्य ब्रह्मन् नु हार्थो यत एव भोगः । अभोगिनोऽयं तव विप्र देहः पीवा यतस्तद्वद नः क्षमं चेत् ॥ १७॥</blockquote><blockquote>कविः कल्पो निपुणदृक् चित्रप्रियकथः समः । लोकस्य कुर्वतः कर्म शेषे तद्वीक्षितापि वा ॥ १८॥<ref>Bhagavata Purana, Skandha 7, [https://sa.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D/%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%83_%E0%A5%AD/%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%A7%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%83_%E0%A5%A7%E0%A5%A9 Adhyaya 13].</ref></blockquote><blockquote>''bibharṣi kāyaṁ pīvānaṁ sodyamo bhogavān yathā । vittaṁ caivodyamavatāṁ bhogo vittavatāmiha । bhogināṁ khalu deho'yaṁ pīvā bhavati nānyathā ॥ 16॥''</blockquote><blockquote>''na te śayānasya nirudyamasya brahman nu hārtho yata eva bhogaḥ । abhogino'yaṁ tava vipra dehaḥ pīvā yatastadvada naḥ kṣamaṁ cet ॥ 17॥''</blockquote><blockquote>''kaviḥ kalpo nipuṇadr̥k citrapriyakathaḥ samaḥ । lokasya kurvataḥ karma śeṣe tadvīkṣitāpi vā ॥ 18॥''</blockquote>Meaning: You have a robust body like an industrious person who enjoys a luxurious life. Wealth accrues to persons who are industrious. And comforts and luxuries can be afforded by wealthy people. Indeed only the bodies of those who are given to luxurious life become stout and not otherwise. Lying flat without doing any work as you do, Oh brahmana, you obviously possess no wealth which is the source of enjoyment of a luxurious life. If you think proper (to disclose), please tell us how your body is so well nourished despite your non-indulgence in luxuries and lack of comforts. Learned, capable, clever, possessing wonderfully sweet power of speech and of equable temper as you are, how is it that you lie down (doing nothing) simply looking on that other people are working.<ref name=":1" />
