Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 25 Text 17
na hi sad-bhāva-yuktānāṁ
surāṇām īśa-vismayaḥ
matto ’satāṁ māna-bhaṅgaḥ
praśamāyopakalpate
TRANSLATION
Since the demigods are endowed with the mode of goodness, the false pride of considering oneself the Lord should certainly not affect them. When I break the false prestige of those bereft of goodness, My purpose is to bring them relief.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Canto 10 Chapter 46 Text 4
tā man-manaskā mat-prāṇā
mat-arthe tyakta-daihikāḥ
mām eva dayitaṁ preṣṭham
ātmānaṁ manasā gatāḥ
ye tyakta-loka-dharmāś ca
mad-arthe tān bibharmy aham
TRANSLATION
The minds of those gopīs are always absorbed in Me, and their very lives are ever devoted to Me. For My sake they have abandoned everything related to their bodies, renouncing ordinary happiness in this life, as well as religious duties necessary for such happiness in the next life. I alone am their dearmost beloved and, indeed, their very Self. I personally sustain such devotees, who for My sake give up all worldly duties.
