yāvannendriyavaikalyaṃ tāvadevācaryeddharim / dhīmānnakuryādviśvāsaṃ śarīre 'sminvinaśvare

नारायणार्चनस्यैते कलां नार्हन्ति षोडशीम् । किं वै वेदैर्मखैः शास्त्रैः किंवा तीर्थनिषेवणैः ॥ नर्प्_१,३०।१११ ॥ विष्णुभक्तिविहीनानां किं तपोभिर्व्रतैरपि ॥ नर्प्_१,३०।११२ ॥ यजन्ति ये विष्णुमनन्तमृर्तिं निरीक्ष्य चाकारगतं वरेण्यम् । वेदान्तवेद्यं भवरोगवैद्यं ते यान्ति मर्त्याः पदमच्युतस्य

these do not equal a sixteenth part of the worship of Nārāyaṇa. What use are the Vedas, sacrifices, treatises, or the frequenting of sacred fords? [111] For those devoid of devotion to Viṣṇu, what use even are austerities and vows? [112] Those who worship Viṣṇu of endless form, beholding him too when come into (visible) shape, the most excellent, to be known through the Vedānta, the physician for the disease of worldly existence—those mortals go to the abode of Acyuta.

Having remembered the beginningless Self, of endless power, the support of the world, praised by the gods, whose very form is light, the supreme one named Acyuta, a man draws near to (him as) a friend.
