There is very nice song sung by a Vaisnava poet. He says, sukhere lagiya e

baro bhaginu anale puria ghare (?). "I constructed this house for living

happily. Unfortunately, it was set in fire, so everything is finished."

Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.7.40-44 -- San Francisco, March 20, 1967

 

A poet writes, sukhera lagiya ei ghara bandhila anale puriya gela:(?) "I

constructed my home to live very peacefully and comfortably.

Bhagavad-gita 7.14 -- Hamburg, September 8, 1969

 

Sukhera lagiya, ei ghara bhandinu, agune puriya gelo (?). The nature's law

is that, that it will set fire.

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 6.154-155 -- Gorakhpur, February 19,

1971 (Krsna Niketan)

 

Sukhera lagiya, e ghara bandhinu, agune puriya gela (?): "I constructed this

nice house for living happily, but there was fire and everything finished."

Bhagavad-gita 1.30 -- London, July 23, 1973

 

There is another Bengali song like that. Sukhera lagiya ei ghare bandhinu

agune puriya gelun(?): "I constructed this house to live very happily.

Unfortunately, there was set fire. Fire was set and everything finished."

Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.15.27 -- New York, March 6, 1975

 

So instead of sukhera lagiya ei ghara bandhun, I became a householder for

happiness, agune puriya gela, now there is blazing fire. Sukhera lagiya ei

ghara bandhun agune puriya gela. And there is another, ravana hoila ithe

gatila janja: "I wanted to be happy in this way, but it has become an

embarassment."

Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.5.8 -- Vrndavana, October 30, 1976

 

Sukhena lagiya (Bengali). You construct a very nice house and next day it

was set fire and finished.

sukhera lagiya, ei ghara bandhinu,

agune pudiya gela

 

ucala baliya, acale cadinu,

padinu agadha jale

 

nagara vasalama, sagara bandhilama,

manika pavara ase
