Sanskrit:

देवहूतिरुवाचकाचित्त्वय्युचिता भक्ति: कीद‍ृशी मम गोचरा ।यया पदं ते निर्वाणमञ्जसान्वाश्नवा अहम् ॥ २८ ॥

ITRANS:

devahūtir uvācakācit tvayy ucitā bhaktiḥkīdṛśī mama gocarāyayā padaṁ te nirvāṇamañjasānvāśnavā aham

Translation:

On hearing this statement of the Lord, Devahūti inquired: What kind of devotional service is worth developing and practicing to help me easily and immediately attain the service of Your lotus feet?

Purport:

It is stated in Bhagavad-gītā that no one is barred from rendering service to the Lord. Whether one is a woman or a laborer or a merchant, if he engages himself in the devotional service of the Lord he is promoted to the highest perfectional state and goes back home, back to Godhead. The devotional service most suitable for different types of devotees is determined and fixed by the mercy of the spiritual master.
