| Canto 4, Ch. 19
jealousy of Mahārāja Pṛthu, and what he introduced is again appearing in the age of Kali. Practically none of the  sannyāsīs  in this age are bona fide. No one can introduce any new system into the Vedic way of life; if one does so out of malice, he is to be known as a  pāṣaṇḍī , or atheist. In the Vaiṣṇava  tantra  it is said:
yas tu nārāyaṇam devam brahma-rudrādi-daivataiḥ samatvenaiva vīkṣeta sa pāṣaṇḍī bhaved dhruvam
Although it is forbidden, there are many  pāṣaṇḍīs  who coin terms like  daridra-nārāyaṇa  and  svāmi-nārāyaṇa , although not even such demigods as Brahmā and Śiva can be equal to Nārāyaṇa.
