मूर्खो वदति विष्णाय धीरो वदति विष्णवे ।
उभयोस्तु समं पुण्यं भावग्राही जनार्दनः ॥

mūrkho vadati viṣṇāya dhīro vadati viṣṇave |
ubhayos tu samaṁ puṇyaṁ bhāva-grāhī janārdanaḥ ||
(Caitanya-bhāgavata: 1.11.108)

“[When making offerings with mantras to Bhagavān Viṣṇu:] An uneducated persons says, “Viṣṇāya,” and a learned person says, “Viṣṇave,” but their merit is the same [i.e., they both attain the same benefit from performing the offering even though one uses correct grammar and the other does not], as Janārdana [i.e., “the instigator of the people”] is a partaker of bhāva.”
