Translation

" 'It is very difficult to give up material opulence, land, children, society, friends, riches, wife, or the blessings of the goddess of fortune, which are desired even by great demigods. King Bharata did not desire such things, and this was quite befitting his position because for a pure devotee whose mind is always engaged in service of the Lord, even liberation or merging into the existence of the Lord is insignificant. And what to speak of material opportunity?'
