The devotee dear to me
जो किसी से द्वेष नहीं रखता, मैत्रीभाव और करुणा से युक्त है, ममत्व-अहंकार से रहित, सुख-दुःख में समान, क्षमाशील है — जो सदा संतुष्ट, योगयुक्त, संयमी, दृढ़ निश्चय वाला है, और मन-बुद्धि मुझे अर्पित कर चुका है — वह भक्त मुझे प्रिय है।
Without hate toward any being, friendly, compassionate, free of 'mine' and 'I,' even in sorrow and joy, patient, ever content, self-controlled, firm in resolve, with mind and intellect offered to Me — such a devotee is dear to Me.
