# Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 10 Chapter 23 Text 27

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 23 Text 27](http://vedabase.com/en/sb/10/23/27)**

 

*prāṇa-buddhi-manaḥ-svātma
dārāpatya-dhanādayaḥ
yat-samparkāt priyā āsaṁs
tataḥ ko nv aparaḥ priyaḥ*

 

TRANSLATION
It is only by contact with the self that one’s vital breath, intelligence, mind, friends, body, wife, children, wealth and so on are dear. Therefore what object can possibly be more dear than one’s own self?
