Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 03, Chapter 12, Text 51

SB 3.12.51

aho adbhutam etan me
 vyaprtasyapi nityada
na hy edhante praja nunam
 daivam atra vighatakam
 
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 
 
Brahma thought to himself: Alas, it is wonderful that in spite of my being scattered all over, there is still insufficient population throughout the universe. There is no other cause for this misfortune but destiny.
