srutim apare smritim itare,
bharatam anye bhajantu bhava-bhitah,
aham iha nandam vande,
yasyalinde param brahma,
“Let those afraid of material existence worship the Vedas and Upanishads, the smritis and puranas, or the Mahabharata, as they wish. I, on the other hand, shall simply worship Maharaja Nanda, in whose courtyard is playing the Supreme Truth.”
(Padyavali, 126)
