# Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 47 Text 6 – September 28, 2022

**[Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 47 Text 6](https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/47/6/)**

*
anyeṣv artha-kṛtā maitrī
yāvad-artha-viḍambanam
pumbhiḥ strīṣu kṛtā yadvat
sumanaḥsv iva ṣaṭpadaiḥ
*

 
TRANSLATION
The friendship shown toward others — those who are not family members — is motivated by personal interest, and thus it is a pretense that lasts only until one’s purpose is fulfilled. Such friendship is just like the interest men take in women, or bees in flowers.
