Does one disregard the demigods when he executes unalloyed devotional service to Hari?
mulete siscile jala—akha-pallavera bala
sire ban ndhi karjakara
hari-bhakti ache jarira sarva-deva bandhu taiira
bhakte sabe korena adara
“If one waters the root of a tree, all the branches and twigs become nourished, but if one waters the top of a tree, it will yield no result. Similarly, all the demigods automatically befriend one who possesses devotion toward Lord Hari. Such devotees are respected by all.”
(Kalyana-kalpataru, Song 4)
