Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 16 Text 35

tapaḥ sutaptaṁ kim anena pūrvaṁ
nirasta-mānena ca māna-dena
dharmo ’tha vā sarva-janānukampayā
yato bhavāṁs tuṣyati sarva-jīvaḥ

TRANSLATION
Did our husband carefully perform austerities in a previous life, with his mind free of pride and full of respect for others? Is that why You are pleased with him? Or did he in some previous existence carefully execute religious duties with compassion for all living beings, and is that why You, the life of all living beings, are now satisfied with him?
