भागवता ऊचुः

पुण्डरीक्षेत्रमाहात्म्यं वद सद्गुरुपुङ्गव |

यत्र श्रीरुक्मणीकान्तो भक्तैः सङ्गम्य मोदते ||

श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच

धर्मात्मा धर्मपालक्ष्च धर्मस्य प्रभुरच्युतः |

स्वधर्माचरणेनैव प्रीणाति भगवान् हरिः ||

श्रौतस्मार्ताणि कर्माणि यथाशक्ति समाचरन् |

कीर्तयेद्धरिनामानि महादुष्टे कलौ युगे ||

The bhagavatas said

Oh! Sadgurunath! Please explain to us the glory of the holy Pandaripuram where Panduranga, the consort of Devi Rukmini, takes pleasure in the company of the bhaktas.

Shri Sadguru said

Shri Bhagavan, Shri Hari, who is the very embodiment of dharma, the guardian of dharma and the very fountainhead of dharma, relishes in the strict adherence to one’s own dharma. In this Kaliyuga, afflicted with the malady of vices one should as far as possible follow the holy deeds or rituals that are given importance in the Vedas and Shastras and engage in chanting the Divine Names of Lord Hari.
