Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 07, Chapter 09, Text 55

SB 7.9.55

sri-narada uvaca
evam pralobhyamano ’pi
 varair loka-pralobhanaih
ekantitvad bhagavati
 naicchat tan asurottamah
 
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 
 
Narada Muni said: Prahlada Maharaja was the best person in the family of asuras, who always aspire for material happiness. Nonetheless, although allured by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who offered him all benedictions for material happiness, because of his unalloyed Krsna consciousness he did not want to take any material benefit for sense gratification.
 
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 
 
Pure devotees like Prahlada Maharaja and Dhruva Maharaja do not aspire for any material benefit at any stage of devotional service. When the Lord was present before Dhruva Maharaja, Dhruva did not want to take any material benefit from the Lord: svamin krtartho ’smi varam na yace. As a pure devotee, he could not ask the Lord for any material benefit. In this regard, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed us:
 
na dhanam na janam na sundarim
 kavitam va jagad-isa kamaye
mama janmani janmanisvare
 bhavatad bhaktir ahaituki tvayi
 
“O my Lord, Jagadisa, I do not pray for benedictions by which to achieve material wealth, popularity or beauty. My only desire is to serve You. Kindly engage me in the service of the servant of Your servant.”
 
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Seventh Canto, Ninth Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Prahlada Pacifies Lord Nrsimhadeva with Prayers.”
