In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam ([[Vanisource:SB 6.14.5|SB 6.14.5]]), it is said:

<div class="quote_verse">
:muktānām api siddhānāṁ nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇaḥ</dd><dd>su-durlabhaḥ praśāntātmā koṭiṣv api mahā-mune
</div>

“O great sage, of the many millions of liberated persons and of the millions who have attained perfection, he who is a devotee of Lord Nārāyaṇa is very, very rare. Indeed, he is the most perfect and peaceful person.”
