# Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1 Chapter 5 Text 23

**[Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Canto 1 Chapter 5 Text 23](http://vedabase.com/en/sb/1/5/23)**

 

*ahaṁ purātīta-bhave ’bhavaṁ mune
dāsyās tu kasyāścana veda-vādinām
nirūpito bālaka eva yogināṁ
śuśrūṣaṇe prāvṛṣi nirvivikṣatām* 

TRANSLATION
O Muni, in the last millennium I was born as the son of a certain maidservant engaged in the service of brāhmaṇas who were following the principles of Vedānta. When they were living together during the four months of the rainy season, I was engaged in their personal service.
