किरातहूणान्ध्रपुलिन्दपुल्कसा

आभीरकङ्का यवनाः खसादयः ।

येऽन्ये च पापा यदुपाश्रयाश्रया

शुद्ध्यन्ति तस्मै प्रभविष्णवे नमः ॥

(श्रीमद्भा॰ २ । ४ । १८)

'The Kiratas, the Hunas, the Andhras, the Pulindas, the Pulkasas, the Aabhiras, the Kankas, the Yavanas, the Khasas and other sinful races no less than others of sinful conduct are purged of their sins even by taking refuge in those who depend on Him To that all-powerful Lord we offer our greetings.'

जाति पाँति कुल धर्म बड़ाई ।

धन बल परिजन गुन चतुराई ॥

भगति हीन नर सोहइ कैसा ।

बिनु जल बारिद देखिअ जैसा ॥

(मानस ३ । ३५ । ३)

Despite caste, kinship, lineage, piety, reputation, wealth, physical strength, numerical strength of his family, accomplishments and ability, a man lacking in devotion is of no more worth than a cloud without water. (Manas 3/35/3)

व्याधस्याचरणं ध्रुवस्य च वयो विद्या गजेन्द्रस्य का,

का जातिर्विदुरस्य यादवपतेरुग्रस्य किं पौरुषम् ।

कुब्जायाः किमु नाम रूपमधिकं किं तत्सुदाम्नो धनं,

भक्त्या तुष्यति केवलं न च गुणैर्भक्तिप्रियो माधवः ॥

'What conduct was great of Vyaadhak ? Where was Dhruv that old? What knowledge did Gajendra have ? Where was Vidur of a higher class ? What was the negotiable workings of Yadupati Ugrasena ? Where was there any beauty in Kubja ? Where was there any wealth possessed by Sudama ? Then too all of them realized God! Because to God, only devotion and love are dear to Him. He is only satisfied with devotion, not due to their conduct, knowledge or qualities.'

नालं द्विजत्वं देवत्वमृषित्वं वासुरात्मजाः ।

प्रीणनाय मुकुन्दस्य न वृत्तं न बहुज्ञता ॥

न दानं न तपो नेज्या न शौचं न व्रतानि च ।

प्रीयतेऽमलया भक्त्या हरिरन्यद् विडम्बनम् ॥

दैतेया यक्षरक्षांसि स्त्रियः शूद्रा वजौकसः ।

खगा मृगाः पापजीवाः सन्ति ह्यच्युततां गताः ॥

(श्रीमद्धा ७ । ७ । ५१-५२, ५४)

'Neither birth as a member of the twice-born classes, god, or Rishi nor character versatility nor charity, nor austerity, nor the performance of sacrifices, nor purity (of mind and body) nor sacred vows, are conducive to the pleasure of Lord Mukunda, O Asura boys ! Shri Hari is propitiated through unalloyed Devotion (alone). All else is empty show. For there are many Daityas, Yaksas and ogres, womenfolk, Shudras (members of the Laboring and Artisan classes), cowherds, birds, beasts and those living by sin that have attained immortality through devotion.' (Srimad Bhagwat 7/7/51-52, 54)
