śrīgaruḍamahāpurāṇam- 7 śrīkṛṣṇa uvāca / pārvatyānantarotpanna indro vacanamabravīt / indra uvāca / tava svarūpaṃ hṛdi saṃvijānan samutsukaḥ syātstavane yastu mūḍhaḥ / ajānataḥ stavanaṃ devadeva tadevāhurhelanaṃ cakrapāṇe
The Śrī Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa, chapter 7. Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: Born next after Pārvatī, Indra spoke these words. Indra said: The fool who, knowing your true nature in his heart, becomes eager to praise (you) — the praise of one who does not know, O God of gods, that very thing they call an offence, O wielder of the discus.

Even so, if your name comes first, then it would become productive of merit. When Rudra and the others have no power to praise (you), what then is there to say about my having none?
