O Supreme Lord, You are not an ordinary living entity appearing in this material world as a result of fruitive activities. Therefore Your appearance or birth in this world has no other cause than Your pleasure potency. Similarly, the living entities, who are part of You, have no cause for miseries like birth, death and old age, except when these living entities are conducted by Your external energy.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana

मूल श्लोकः
न तेऽभवस्येश भवस्य कारणं विना विनोदं बत तर्कयामहे । भवो निरोधः स्थितिरप्यविद्यया कृता यतस्त्वय्यभयाश्रयात्मनि
na te'bhavasyeśa bhavasya kāraṇaṃ vinā vinodaṃ bata tarkayāmahe | bhavo nirodhaḥ sthitirapyavidyayā kṛtā yatastvayyabhayāśrayātmani
