Chapter-9 Rāja-vidyā Rāja--guhya Yogaḥ

patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ toyaṃ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati | tad-ahaṃ bhakty-upahṛtam-aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ || 26 || 26. Whoever offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or some water, I accept this offering made with devotion by one who is pure of heart. Commentary “True devotion is love for Me so profound that the devotee cannot sustain himself without making such offering; the devotee has no purpose other than service. Such an offering coming from a heart rendered pure with that singleness of purpose — of considering the offering as an end in itself — I, the Lord of the universe, I accept and enjoy the aforesaid type of offering, as if I was obtaining a desired object far beyond the range of My expectations.”
