:pāraṁ gato 'pi vedānāṁ<br />

:yo na sarveśvare bhaktas<br />
:taṁ vidyāt puruṣādhamam<br />

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:SB 2.9.36|SB 2.9.36, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">The devotional service of the Lord with perfect knowledge through the training of a bona fide spiritual master is advised for everyone, even if one happens not to be a human being. This is confirmed in the Garuḍa Purāṇa as follows:</p><br />
:kīṭa-pakṣi-mṛgāṇāṁ ca<br />
:harau sannyasta-cetasām<br />
:ūrdhvām eva gatiṁ manye<br />
:kiṁ punar jñānināṁ nṛṇām<br />
<p>"Even the worms, birds and beasts are assured of elevation to the highest perfectional life if they are completely surrendered to the transcendental loving service of the Lord, so what to speak of the philosophers amongst the human beings?"</p><br />

<div class="purport text"><p>In this regard, Madhva Muni quotes from the Garuḍa Purāṇa:</p><br />
:brahmādi-bhakti-koṭy-aṁśād<br />
:aṁśo naivāmbarīṣake<br />
:naivanyasya cakrasyāpi<br />
:tathāpi harir īśvaraḥ<br />
:tātkālikopaceyatvāt<br />
:teṣāṁ yaśasa ādirāṭ<br />
:brahmādayaś ca tat-kīrtiṁ<br />
:vyañjayām āsur uttamām<br />
:mohanāya ca daityānāṁ<br />
:brahmāde nindanāya ca<br />
:anyārthaṁ ca svayaṁ viṣṇur<br />
:brahmādyāś ca nirāśiṣaḥ<br />
:mānuṣeṣūttamātvāc ca<br />
:teṣāṁ bhaktyādibhir guṇaiḥ<br />
:brahmāder viṣṇv-adhīnatva-<br />
:jñāpanāya ca kevalam<br />
:durvāsāś ca svayaṁ rudras<br />
:tathāpy anyāyām uktavān<br />
:tasyāpy anugrahārthāya<br />
:darpa-nāśārtham eva ca<br />
<p>The lesson to be derived from this narration concerning Mahārāja Ambarīṣa and Durvāsā Muni is that all the demigods, including Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva, are under the control of Lord Viṣṇu. Therefore, when a Vaiṣṇava is offended, the offender is punished by Viṣṇu, the Supreme Lord. No one can protect such a person, even Lord Brahmā or Lord Śiva.</p><br />
