TRANSLATION
“By pouring water on the root of a tree, one automatically satisfies the trunk, branches and twigs. Similarly, by supplying food to the stomach, where it nourishes the life air, one satisfies all the senses. In the same way, by worshiping Krṣṇa and rendering Him service, one automatically satisfies all the demigods.’
