    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 4 Text 52


    yadṛcchayā labdham api
    viṣṇor dāśārathes tu yaḥ
    naicchan mokṣaṁ vinā dāsyaṁ
    tasmai hanūmate namaḥ

    TRANSLATION

    “Although Hanumān obtained from the son of Daśaratha the boon of liberation without striving for it, he never wanted to accept liberation without the opportunity to serve. To that Hanumān I offer my obeisances.”

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 4 Text 34


    yasya śrī-bhagavat-prāptāv
    utkaṭecchā yato bhavet
    sa tatraiva labhetāmuṁ
    na tu vāso ’sya lābha-kṛt

    TRANSLATION

    Wherever one develops an intense desire to achieve the Supreme Lord, there one can obtain Him. But the Lord’s merely residing in a certain place does not grant one His association.

    Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 4 Text 23


    vicitra-sevā-dānaṁ hi
    hanūmat-prabhṛtiṣv iva
    prabhoḥ prasādo bhakteṣu
    mataḥ sadbhir na cetarat

    TRANSLATION

    The Lord truly gives His mercy, saintly authorities believe, when He grants the right to render various kinds of service, a blessing He gives to such devotees as Hanumān. Nothing else counts as His mercy.

    śrī-parīkṣid uvāca

    prahlādo nāradaṁ natvā
    gauravād avadac chanaiḥ

    Śrī Parīkṣit said: Unable to tolerate hearing his own praise, Prahlāda lowered his face in embarrassment, bowed down before Nārada, and respectfully addressed him in a quiet voice.

    bhavatād bhavataḥ prasādato
    bhagavat-sneha-vijṛmbhitaḥ kila
    mama tan-mahimā tathāpy aṇur
    nava-bhakteṣu kṛpā-bharekṣayā

    TRANSLATION

    We can say that by your mercy the Supreme Lord developed some love for me and so I appear glorious. But my greatness is just like a tiny speck before the heaps of mercy the Lord bestows on His newer devotees.

    dṛṣṭaś cirāt kṛṣṇa-kṛpā-bharasya

    TRANSLATION

    Śrī Nārada said: Now, after so long, I have finally seen you — the true recipient of Kṛṣṇa’s full mercy! Now my efforts have borne fruit! From your very childhood you have been endowed with pure devotion for Kṛṣṇa. Such spontaneous love has never been seen anywhere before.
