Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 7


Sanskrit:

अन्ये च संस्कृतात्मानो विधिनाभिहितेन ते ।यजन्ति त्वन्मयास्त्वां वै बहुमूर्त्येकमूर्तिकम् ॥ ७ ॥

ITRANS:

anye ca saṁskṛtātmānovidhinābhihitena teyajanti tvan-mayās tvāṁ vaibahu-mūrty-eka-mūrtikam

Translation:

And yet others — those whose intelligence is pure — follow the injunctions of Vaiṣṇava scriptures promulgated by You. Absorbing their minds in thought of You, they worship You as the one Supreme Lord manifesting in multiple forms.

Purport:

The word saṁskṛtātmānaḥ, “they whose intelligence is pure,” is significant here. It implies that the worshipers mentioned before have not completely purified their intelligence of material contamination and thus worship the Lord indirectly. Those who are purified, however, directly worship the Lord, either as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa, or as one of His various plenary forms, such as Vāsudeva, Saṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna or Aniruddha, as indicated here.
