My dear Lord, even Lord Brahmā, who enjoys his exalted position for the entire duration of the universe, fears the passage of time. Then what to speak of those whom Brahmā creates, the conditioned souls. They encounter fearful dangers at every step of their lives. I do not know of any relief from this fear except shelter at Your lotus feet, which are the very form of liberation.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana
श्रीमद्भागवतमहापुराणम्
मूल श्लोकः
नान्यं तवाङ्घ्र्युपनयादपवर्गमूर्तेः क्षेमं जनस्य परितो भिय ईश विद्मः । ब्रह्मा बिभेत्यलमतो द्विपरार्धधिष्ण्यः कालस्य ते किमुत तत्कृतभौतिकानाम्
nānyaṃ tavāṅghryupanayādapavargamūrteḥ kṣemaṃ janasya parito bhiya īśa vidmaḥ | brahmā bibhetyalamato dviparārdhadhiṣṇyaḥ kālasya te kimuta tatkṛtabhautikānām
