Sanskrit:

देशान् पुण्यानाश्रयेत मद्भ‍क्तै: साधुभि: श्रितान् ।देवासुरमनुष्येषु मद्भ‍क्ताचरितानि च ॥ १० ॥

ITRANS:

deśān puṇyān āśrayetamad-bhaktaiḥ sādhubhiḥ śritāndevāsura-manuṣyeṣumad-bhaktācaritāni ca

Translation:

One should take shelter of holy places where My saintly devotees reside, and one should be guided by the exemplary activities of My devotees, who appear among the demigods, demons and human beings.

Purport:

Nārada Muni is one of the great devotees of the Lord who appeared among the demigods. Prahlāda Mahārāja appeared among the demons, and many other great devotees, such as Ambarīṣa Mahārāja and the Pāṇḍavas, appeared among human beings. One should take shelter of the devotees’ exemplary activities and also the holy places where devotees reside. Thus one will remain safe on the path of devotional service.
