Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 29

Sanskrit:

श्रीवसुदेव उवाचनमो व: सर्वदेवेभ्य ऋषय: श्रोतुमर्हथ ।कर्मणा कर्मनिर्हारो यथा स्यान्नस्तदुच्यताम् ॥ २९ ॥

ITRANS:

śrī-vasudeva uvācanamo vaḥ sarva-devebhyaṛṣayaḥ śrotum arhathakarmaṇā karma-nirhāroyathā syān nas tad ucyatām

Translation:

Śrī Vasudeva said: Obeisances to you, the residence of all the demigods. Please hear me, O sages. Kindly tell us how the reactions of one’s work can be counteracted by further work.

Purport:

Here Vasudeva addresses the sages as “the residence of all the demigods.” His statement is confirmed in the authoritative śruti-mantras, which declare, yāvatīr vai devatās tāḥ sarvā veda-vidi brāhmaṇe vasanti: “Whatever demigods exist, all reside in a brāhmaṇa who knows the Veda.”
