      All living beings in all the planets of this universe, including the presiding deities of all the planets, are fully under the control of the Lord. They work like birds caught in a net, who cannot move independently.
    • c. 700 CE – 900 CE, Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.7.66:

      The lady pigeon had always allowed herself to be bound by the ropes of intense material affection, and thus her mind was overwhelmed by anguish. Being in the grip of the illusory energy of the Lord, she completely forgot herself, and rushing forward to her helpless children, she was immediately bound in the hunter’s net.
    • c. 700 CE – 900 CE, Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.7.71:
