Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 04, Chapter 21, Text 51

SB 4.21.51

adya nas tamasah paras
 tvayopasaditah prabho
bhramyatam nasta-drstinam
 karmabhir daiva-samjñitaih
 
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
 
The citizens continued: Today you have opened our eyes and revealed how to cross to the other side of the ocean of darkness. By our past deeds and by the arrangement of superior authority, we are entangled in a network of fruitive activities and have lost sight of the destination of life; thus we have been wandering within the universe.
 
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
 
In this verse, the words karmabhir daiva-samjñitaih are very significant. Due to the quality of our actions, we come to the association of the modes of material nature, and by superior arrangement we are given a chance to enjoy the fruitive results of such activities in different types of bodies. In this way, having lost sight of their destination in life, all living entities are wandering in different species throughout the universe, sometimes getting birth in a lower species and sometimes existence in higher planetary systems; thus we are all wandering since time immemorial. It is by the grace of the spiritual master and the Supreme Personality of Godhead that we get the clue of devotional life, and thus progressive success in our life begins. Here this is admitted by the citizens of King Prthu; in full consciousness they admit the benefit they have derived from the activities of Maharaja Prthu.
