Bhagavad Gītā 9.26 is a famous verse where Lord Krishna explains the simplicity and purity of devotion. The verse (in Sanskrit) is:
पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति ।
तदहं भक्त्युपहृतम् अश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः ॥ 9.26 ॥
Transliteration:
patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ
Translation (general sense):
“If one offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water, I accept it – offered with a heart of devotion and purity.”
✨ This verse emphasizes bhakti (devotion) over material grandeur. Krishna shows that what matters is the love and sincerity behind an offering, not its size or value.
Would you like me to also give you a traditional commentary (like from Śaṅkarācārya, Rāmānuja, or Prabhupāda) for this verse?
