द्रव्यैः प्रसिद्धैर्मद्यागः प्रतिमादिष्वमायिनः । भक्तस्य च यथालब्धैर्हृदि भावेन चैव हि ॥
dravyaiḥ prasiddhairmadyāgaḥ pratimādiṣvamāyinaḥ | bhaktasya ca yathālabdhairhṛdi bhāvena caiva hi ||
My worship in images and the like is with the well-known offerings, by one free of deceit; but for the devotee, with whatever is obtained, and in the heart simply with loving feeling.
मूर्ति आदि में निष्कपट व्यक्ति द्वारा मेरी पूजा प्रसिद्ध सामग्रियों से होती है; पर भक्त के लिए, जो कुछ मिल जाए उसी से, और हृदय में केवल भाव से ही।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
You do not need expensive things to worship. Whatever you have, offered with love, is enough; and feeling in the heart is itself worship.
पूजा के लिए महँगी वस्तुओं की ज़रूरत नहीं। जो कुछ आपके पास है, प्रेम से अर्पित करें, वही पर्याप्त है; और हृदय का भाव स्वयं पूजा है।
Krishna (Bhagavata 11.27.15) says worship in images uses the well-known offerings, but the devotee may worship with whatever is at hand, and in the heart with feeling alone.
