Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 12


Sanskrit:

ततो गृहीत्वामृतभाजनं हरि-र्बभाष ईषत्स्मितशोभया गिरा ।यद्यभ्युपेतं क्‍व च साध्वसाधु वाकृतं मया वो विभजे सुधामिमाम् ॥ १२ ॥

ITRANS:

tato gṛhītvāmṛta-bhājanaṁ harirbabhāṣa īṣat-smita-śobhayā girāyady abhyupetaṁ kva ca sādhv asādhu vākṛtaṁ mayā vo vibhaje sudhām imām

Translation:

Thereafter, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, having taken possession of the container of nectar, smiled slightly and spoke in attractive words. She said: My dear demons, if you accept whatever I may do, whether honest or dishonest, then I can take responsibility for dividing the nectar among you.

Purport:

The Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot abide by anyone’s dictation. Whatever He does is absolute. The demons, of course, were deluded by the illusory potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and thus Mohinī-mūrti got them to promise that whatever She would do they would accept.
