1.20.134

sarpir-bhṛṣṭam āguḍa-kvathitatām āptāś ca dhānā yathā
vasyante svayam eva bījavad amūs tanvanti nānya-spṛhām |
man-mātra-spṛhiṇāṃ madīya-bhajanaṃ no tadvad anya-spṛhaṃ
kintu syād rasanīyarūpam iti ced yuṣmākam āstāṃ kathā || [śārdūla]

"Just as parched grains fried in ghee and boiled in jaggery
are consumed by themselves and do not foster another desire like seed-grains,
so the worship performed by those who desire me alone does not tend toward any other desire;
and if you say that it becomes a form of delightful relish, what more need be said of you?" ||
