पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति | तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः
patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ toyaṃ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati . tadahaṃ bhaktyupahṛtamaśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ
Wer Mir mit Hingabe ein Blatt, eine Blume, eine Frucht oder Wasser darbringt, dessen hingebungsvoll dargebrachte Gabe nehme Ich an, die eines reinen Herzens.
Whoever offers Me with devotion-a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, I accept that (gift) of the pure-hearted man which has been devotionally presented.
Ein Geschenk, wie klein es auch sein mag, wird vom Herrn angenommen, wenn es mit tiefer Hingabe dargebracht wird. Der Herr ist selbst mit einem Blatt, einer Blume, einer Frucht oder Wasser zufrieden, wenn es mit aufrichtiger Hingabe und reinem Herzen dargeboten wird. Er wünscht nur dein hingebungsvolles Herz. Alle Dinge der Welt gehören Ihm, doch Er freut sich sehr, wenn du Ihm auch nur eine Kleinigkeit mit Hingabe darbringst. 'Aśnāmi' bedeutet wörtlich 'essen', hier im Sinne von 'annehmen'.
A gift? however small? is accepted by the Lord? when it is offered with profound faith. The Lord is ite satisfied even with a leaf? a flower? a fruit or water? when it is offered with singleminded devotion and pure heart. Was He not satisfied with the little parched rice from the bundle of Sudama and the small berries offered by Sabari You need not build a golden temple for Him. Build a golden temple in your heart. Enthrone Him there. He wants only your devoted heart. But it is difficult to please Indra. You wll have to offer valuable (material) objects to him.A leaf? a flower of a fruit are merely symbols. The true means of attaining the Lord is pure unflinching devotion. All the objects of the state belong to the king. If the servants of the state offer with devotion some objects to the king he is highly satisfied. Even so all the objects of the whole world belong to Him. Yet? He is highly pleased if you offer even a little thing with devotion.Asnami? literally means eat. The indicative meaning or Lakshana Vritti is accept.
