Srimad Bhagavatam. Canto 1: Creation

Chapter 8: Prayers by Queen Kunti and Parikshit Saved. Text 38

के वयं नामरूपाभ्यां यदुभिः सह पाण्डवाः ।
भवतोऽदर्शनं यर्हि हृषीकाणामिवेशितुः ॥३८॥

ke vayaá¹ nÄma-rÅ«pÄbhyÄá¹
yadubhiḥ saha pÄṇá¸avÄḥ
bhavato 'darśanaṠyarhi
hṛṣīkÄṇÄm iveÅ›ituḥ

Without your presence who are we, the PÄṇá¸avas along with the Yadus with their fame and strength? We are like the senses without the jÄ«va.

Purport

“But Bhima and Arjuna, your sons, are very powerful. The king is dharma personified and the Yadavas are your friends. You have no worries.â€

Who are we Pandavas with the Yadus having fame (nama) and ability (rupa) without your presence? Similarly, without the presence of the jiva the senses have no significance or power.
