180 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 18

TRANSLATION

Therefore, O demons, give up the so-called happiness of family
life and simply take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nrsirmhadeva,
which are the actual shelter of fearlessness. Entanglement in
family life is the root cause of material attachment, indefatigable
desires, moroseness, anger, despair, fear and the desire for false
prestige, all of which result in the repetition of birth and death.
