vāgbhiḥ stuvanto manasā smarantas
vāgbhiḥ stuvanto manasā smarantas
tanvā namanto’py aniśaṁ na tṛptāḥ |
bhaktāḥ sravan-netra-jalāḥ samagram
āyur harer eva samarpayanti ||
(Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya: 12.37; cited in Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu: 1.3.29)
“Although they are continuously praising him with their words, remembering him with their minds, and bowing to him with bodies, they are not satiated. The bhaktas, their eyes flowing with tears, offer their entire lives to Hari alone.”
