Devahūti's Lamentation

him with heart and soul. That is the secret of success. As stated by Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura in his eight stanzas of prayer to the spiritual master,  yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaḥ . By serving or receiving the grace of the spiritual master, one receives the grace of the Supreme Lord. By serving her devotee-husband Kardama Muni, Devahūti shared in his achievements. Similarly, a sincere disciple, simply by serving a bona fide spiritual master, can achieve all the mercy of the Lord and the spiritual master simultaneously.

TRANSLATION
Kardama Muni continued:  What is the use of enjoyments other than the Lord's grace? All material achievements are subject to be annihilated simply by a movement of the eyebrows of Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. By your principles of devotion to your husband, you have achieved and can enjoy transcendental gifts very rarely obtained by persons proud of aristocracy and material possessions.
