गरुडपुराण - परान्नम्


परान्नं च परस्वं च परशय्याः परस्त्रियः ।
परवेश्मनि वासश्च शक्रस्यापि श्रियं हरेत् ॥


- गरुडपुराण



parAnnam cha parasvam cha parashayyAH parastriyaH ।
paraveshmani vAsaH cha shakrasya api shriyam haret ॥


- garuDa purANa


These things have the potential to erode the wealth of Indra (King of Gods) also - eating someone else's food, being controlled by someone else, sleeping on others bed, indulgence in other's wives, living in other people's house. One must avoid all of them.

सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार - पराधीन


एतावज्जन्मसाफल्यं यदनायत्तवृत्तिता ।
ये पराधीनतां यतास्ते वै जीवन्ति के मृताः ॥

Life is only satisfying if your occupation does not let you be controlled by others. If it is 'living' even when controlled by others, then what is being 'dead'?
