श्रीभगवत एव सर्वहितोपदेष्टृत्वात् सर्वदुःखहरत्वात् रश्मीनां सूर्यवत् सर्वेषां परमस्वरूपत्वात् सर्वाधिकगुणशालित्वात् परमप्रेमयोगत्वमिति प्रयोजनं च स्थापितम् ।
śrī-bhagavata eva sarva-hitopadeṣṭṛtvāt sarva-duḥkha-haratvāt raśmīnāṁ sūryavat sarveṣāṁ parama-svarūpatvāt sarvādhika-guṇa-śālitvāt parama-prema-yogatvam iti prayojanaṁ ca sthāpitam |
(Tattva Sandarbha: 45)
“Because of Śrī Bhagavān alone being supremely worthy of prema on account of [his] being (1) the benevolent advisor of all, (2) the remover of suffering for all, (3) the ultimate nature [i.e., Self] of all, like the sun [is] of [its] rays, and (4) the bearer of qualities superior to [those of] all, the prayojana [i.e., the supreme puruṣārtha, prema for Śrī Bhagavān] is also established.”
