तेऽपि तन्मुखतः सर्वं श्रुत्वा तत्तन्महाद्भुतम् ।
सारसङ्ग्राहिणोऽशेषमन्यत्सर्वं जहुर्दृढम् ॥
te’pi tan-mukhataḥ sarvaṁ śrutvā tat-tan-mahādbhutam |
sāra-saṅgrāhiṇo’śeṣam anyat sarvaṁ jahur dṛḍham ||
(Bṛhad Bhāgavatāmṛta: 1.7.152)
“Grasping the essence [i.e., the tattva] after hearing from his [i.e., Nārada’s] mouth all of these profound wonders [i.e., the extraordinary things which were experienced by Nārada during his journey for the recipient of the essence of Kṛṣṇa’s grace], they too [i.e., the sages at Prayāga listening to Nārada’s account] resolutely and completely gave up everything else [i.e., jñāna, karma, and all other paths apart from Kṛṣṇa-bhakti].”
