na vai jātu mṛṣaiva syāt
na vai jātu mṛṣaiva syāt
prajādhyakṣa mad-arhaṇam
bhavad-vidheṣv atitarāṁ
mayi saṅgṛbhitātmanām
Director of the progeny! The worship of persons such as you who fully concentrate on me in their hearts is never fruitless.
Fulfilling your desire will not reduce your worship of me. Rather, you will attain me. Please take courage!
satyaṁ diśaty arthitam arthito nṛṇāṁ
naivārthado yat punar arthitā yataḥ
svayaṁ vidhatte bhajatām anicchatām
icchāpidhānaṁ nija-pāda-pallavam
The Lord certainly gives desired objects to devotees who request them, but he does not give in such a way that the devotee will ask again after finishing his enjoyment. He gives his lotus feet, which include all desirables, to those worshippers who do not desire them. SB 5.19.26
Worshipping me will never be without good results. In the end I will bestow my abode. Such worship among those devotees who have absorbed their minds in me (saṅgṛbhitātmanām), such as you, certainly will give results. Gṛhīta and gṛbhīta have the same meaning. The short vowel is poetic license.

|| 3.21.27||
ātmajām asitāpāṅgīṁ
vayaḥ-śīla-guṇānvitām
mṛgayantīṁ patiṁ dāsyaty
anurūpāya te prabho
