rahūgaṇaitat tapasā na yāti
na cejyayā nirvapaṇād gṛhād vā
na cchandasā naiva jalāgni-sūryair
vinā mahat-pāda-rajo-'bhiṣekam
Without bathing in the dust from the feet of great devotees, one cannot realize the Lord through concentration of the mind, performance of sacrifices, distributing food, building shelters for the destitute, studying the Vedas, or performing austerities in the water, fire or the sun.
One cannot attain the Lord without bhakti attained by mercy of the devotees. This is explained in two verses. O King Rahūgana! The three types of realization just mentioned cannot be attained by tapas or other methods. Tapas means concentration of the mind. Ijyā means Vedic activities such as sacrifices. Nirvanpat means “giving food in charity.” Gṛhāt means “establishing shelters for helping others.” Chhandasā means “by study of the Vedas.” Jalāgni-sūryaiḥ means “by performing austerities involving water, fire and the sun.”

yatrottamaśloka-guṇānuvādaḥ
prastūyate grāmya-kathā-vighātaḥ
niṣevyamāṇo 'nudinaṁ mumukṣor
matiṁ satīṁ yacchati vāsudeve
Where there are great devotees, talks concerning the qualities of the Lord, which destroy material topics, are sung. Heard constantly even by those desiring liberation, those topics produce pure thoughts of Vāsudeva.
The devotees of Kṛṣṇa are described. Where one bathes in the dust of their feet, or where there are great devotees (yatra), the qualities of the Lord such as his affectionate nature are repeatedly glorified. Even those desiring liberation listen. These talks produce pure thoughts of Vāsudeva, the son of Vasudeva, without the desire for liberation.
