Srimad Bhagavatam — Dashama Skandha, Shloka 29
Brahmā’s Prayers to Lord Kṛṣṇa (Brahmā-stuti) and the Restoration of Vraja’s Lunch Pastime
अथापि ते देव पदाम्बुजद्वय- प्रसादलेशानुगृहीत एव हि । जानाति तत्त्वं भगवन् महिम्नो न चान्य एकोऽपि चिरं विचिन्वन् ॥ २९ ॥
athāpi te deva padāmbuja-dvaya- prasāda-leśānugṛhīta eva hi jānāti tattvaṁ bhagavan-mahimno na cānya eko ’pi ciraṁ vicinvan
主啊，若有人蒙受祢莲花双足哪怕一丝慈恩，便能了知祢威德的真实。然以臆测求知至上人格者，即使多年研读吠陀，亦终不能认识祢。

FAQs
This verse says Krishna’s greatness is known only by one who receives even a trace of mercy from His lotus feet; prolonged speculation alone cannot reveal Him.
After being humbled by Krishna’s Vraja-līlā and his own inability to measure the Lord, Brahmā admits that realization depends on divine grace, not intellectual effort.
Prioritize sincere devotion—prayer, humble service, and hearing about Krishna—rather than relying only on argument or analysis to access spiritual understanding.
