Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu .2.309
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
This spontaneous love for Kṛṣṇa can be developed only by the special mercy of Kṛṣṇa or His pure devotee. This process of devotional service is sometimes called puṣṭi-mārga. Puṣṭi means “nourishing,” and mārga means “path.” Such development of sentiment nourishes devotional service to the highest standard. Thus it is called the path of nourishment, or puṣṭi-mārga. The Vallabha-sampradāya, which belongs to the Viṣṇu Svāmī sect of Vaiṣṇava religion, worships Kṛṣṇa in this puṣṭi-mārga. Generally devotees in Gujarat worship Bāla Kṛṣṇa, under this heading of puṣṭi-mārga.
The use of the word mātra (only) is used in this sentence to indicate that though offering of karmas sometimes acts as a cause of vaidhi-bhakti, it can never be a cause of rāgānuga-bhakti. (and thus, offering varṇāśrama karmas, certainly, cannot be a cause of rāgānuga which is indifferent to rules.) Thus ends the Second Wave, concerning sādhana-bhakti, in the Eastern Section of the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu. 1.3 The Third Wave Concerning Bhāva-bhakti In the Eastern Section of Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu Outline of Bhāva-bhakti I.
