O most eminent of brāhmaṇas, you are all indeed extremely fortunate, since you have already placed within your hearts Lord Śrī Nārāyaṇa — the Personality of Godhead, the supreme controller and the ultimate Soul of all existence — beyond whom there is no other god. You have undeviating love for Him, and thus I request you to worship Him.

Translation
O most eminent of brāhmaṇas! You are all indeed extremely fortunate, since you have already placed within your hearts Nārāyaṇa—the supreme controller and the ultimate soul of all existence—beyond whom there is no other god. Having undeviating love for him, please worship him.
Adevam means “He who does not worship a devatā” or “above whom there is no one worthy of worship.” Bhajata is in the imperative mood.
Personal Guidance
Suta tells the brahmanas they are extremely fortunate to have placed Sri Narayana in their hearts. Recognizing one's fortune is itself part of the fortune. Gratitude is not optional.
Reflection Questions
- What good fortune of mine have I been failing to recognize?
- How does naming it amplify it?
