Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 5]
friends;  hi —indeed;  anubhāvitaḥ —when they are properly in line;  na —not;  teṣu —in them;  kliśyamāneṣu —if they are actually in any difficulty;  tri-vargaḥ —these three aims of life;  arthāya —for any purpose;  kalpate —does become so.
TRANSLATION
When one's friends and relatives are properly situated, one's religion, economic development and sense gratification, as described in the Vedic literatures, are beneficial. Otherwise, if one's friends and relatives are in distress, these three cannot offer any happiness.
PURPORT
Vasudeva regretfully informed Nanda Mahārāja that although he had his wife and children, he could not properly discharge his duty of maintaining them and was therefore unhappy.
