4.4.19

na veda-vādān anuvartate matiḥ sva eva loke ramato mahā-muneḥ /
yathā gatir deva-manuṣyayoḥ pṛthak sva eva dharme na paraṃ kṣipet sthitaḥ //

19. The mind of the great saint who finds delight in his own self (within his body) does not (need not) follow the Vedic utterances (injunctions and prohibitions); for (the sphere of) movement is different for the gods and men (the sky for the former and the earth for the latter); so any one following his own (course of duty) ought not to find fault with another (who has a different path to follow).

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
