=== SB Canto 4 ===

'''The devotees, out of their extreme love for Govinda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, always carry the Lord within their hearts'''

'''[[Vanisource:SB 4.22.8|SB 4.22.8, Purport]]:''' The brāhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas are the bearers of Lord Viṣṇu, the all-auspicious. As confirmed in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.38):

: premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena
: santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti
: yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ
: govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

The devotees, out of their extreme love for Govinda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, always carry the Lord within their hearts. The Lord is already in the heart of everyone, but the Vaiṣṇavas and the brāhmaṇas actually perceive and see Him always in ecstasy. Therefore brāhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas are carriers of Viṣṇu. Wherever they go, Lord Viṣṇu, Lord Śiva or the devotees of Lord Viṣṇu are all carried.

'''[[Vanisource:SB 10.13.22|SB 10.13.22, Translation]]: The mothers of the boys, upon hearing the sounds of the flutes and bugles being played by their sons, immediately rose from their household tasks, lifted their boys onto their laps, embraced them with both arms and began to feed them with their breast milk, which flowed forth because of extreme love specifically for Kṛṣṇa. Actually Kṛṣṇa is everything, but at that time, expressing extreme love and affection, they took special pleasure in feeding Kṛṣṇa, the Parabrahman, and Kṛṣṇa drank the milk from His respective mothers as if it were a nectarean beverage.'''
