He attains peace, who does not see any difference among the three deities who constitute the soul of all living beings and who have the same innate property, O Dakṣa.

The base man who differentiates the deities of the Trinity certainly stays in hell as long as the moon and the stars shine.

My devotee may worship the gods. Being so absorbed he will attain knowledge leading to eternal salvation.

विधिभक्तिं विना नैव भक्तिर्भवति वैष्णवी ॥ विष्णुभक्तिं विना मे न भक्तिः क्वापि प्रजायते ॥१९॥

Without devotion to Brahmā one cannot have the devotion to Viṣṇu; without devotion to Viṣṇu none will have devotion towards me.
