ये वै भगवता प्रोक्ता उपाया ह्यात्मलब्धये ।
अञ्ज: पुंसामविदुषां विद्धि भागवतान् हि तान् ॥
ye vai bhagavatā proktā upāyā hy ātma-labdhaye |
añjaḥ puṁsām aviduṣāṁ viddhi bhāgavatān hi tān ||
(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 11.2.34; cited in Hari-bhakti-vilāsa: 10.497; Bhakti Sandarbha: 216)
“Know Bhāgavatas [i.e., the practices of Bhāgavata-dharma] to be the means explained by Bhagavān himself for even the ignorant to easily realize the Ātmā [i.e., Bhagavān, or, the self].”
