कदापि कृष्णप्रतिमार्चनावतां
न सम्भवेत्कृष्णपरेष्वनादरः ।
घटेत चेत्कर्ह्यपि तद्विषक्तितो
गृणन्ति नागस्तदमी स्तुवन्त्यथ ॥

kadāpi kṛṣṇa-pratimārcanāvatāṁ
na sambhavet kṛṣṇa-pareṣv anādaraḥ |
ghaṭeta cet karhy api tad-viṣaktito
gṛṇanti nāgas tad amī stuvanty atha ||
(Bṛhad Bhāgavatāmṛta: 2.4.212)

“Disregard for those devoted to Kṛṣṇa should never be possible for those engaged in worship of a deity of Kṛṣṇa. If ever it occurs because of [a worshiper’s] being intently engaged therein, they [i.e., those devoted to Kṛṣṇa, viz., the Vaiṣṇavas] do not take offense and rather praise [such a worshiper].”

Commentary

nanu tathāpi vaiṣṇava-viṣayakāparādhena bhagavat-pūjāyāḥ phalaṁ na sidhyaty eva, tatrāha—kadāpīti |
(Excerpt from the Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā)

“Well, still the result of worship of Bhagavān certainly is not attained because of offense related to Vaiṣṇavas.”
