Nāga–Nāgabhāryā Saṃvāda: Varṇa-Dharma, Gṛhastha-Discipline, and Mokṣa-Self-Inquiry
Mahābhārata 12.347
कर्मणा मनसा वाचा विष्णुमेव यजन्ति ते । अन्तर्गत: स भगवान् सर्वसत्त्वशरीरग:
karmaṇā manasā vācā viṣṇum eva yajanti te | antargataḥ sa bhagavān sarvasattvaśarīragaḥ ||
ナーラダは言った。行いと心と思葉によって礼拝する者は、真実ただヴィシュヌのみを礼拝している。かの吉祥なる主は内に在り、すべての生類の身に宿る内在の自己として現前しておられるからである。

Educational Q&A
True worship is not limited to ritual; honoring beings and duties with mind, speech, and action is ultimately worship of Viṣṇu, because the Lord dwells as the inner Self in all creatures.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma, Nārada explains a unifying vision of devotion: acts of reverence directed toward socially and spiritually significant recipients (devas, ancestors, teachers, guests, mother, etc.) reach Viṣṇu, who is present within all as the indweller.
