““‘O most auspicious one! For our benefit You are worshiped by us. You
manifest Your transcendental form, which You show to us in our meditation.
We offer our respectful obeisances unto You, the Supreme Person, and we
worship You whom impersonalists do not accept due to their poor fund of
knowledge. Thus they are liable to descend into a hellish condition.’

PURPORT
This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.9.4).
