सर्वोपायपरित्यागः कृष्णोपायनमर्चनम् ।
सुचिरं प्रोषिते कान्ते यथा पतिपरायणा ॥
प्रियानुरागिणी दीना तस्य सङ्गैककाङ्क्षिणी ।
तद्गुणान्भावयेन्नित्यं गायत्यपि शृणोति च ॥
श्रीकृष्णगुणलीलादिस्मरणादि तथा चरेत् ।
न पुनः साधनत्वेन कार्यं तत्तु कदाचन ॥
sarvopāya-parityāgaḥ kṛṣṇopāyanam arcanam |
suciraṁ proṣite kānte yathā pati-parāyaṇā ||
priyānurāgiṇī dīnā tasya saṅgaika-kāṅkṣiṇī |
tad-guṇān bhāvayen nityaṁ gāyaty api śṛṇoti ca ||
śrī-kṛṣṇa-guṇa-līlādi-smaraṇādi tathā caret |
na punaḥ sādhanatvena kāryaṁ tat tu kadācana ||
(Sanat-kumāra-saṁhitā: 115–117)
“One [then] gives up all other processes and engages in worship of Kṛṣṇa just as a wife devoted to her husband worships her beloved while he is abroad for a long time. Filled with loving attachment for her husband, humble, desirous only of his company, she always meditates on, sings, and hears of his qualities. Similarly, one should engage in remembrance and so forth of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s qualities, līlās, and so forth. This is never be done, however, with it being a means of attainment [of something else, i.e., it should be done simply for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa and not to obtain any other result].”
