Bhagavad Gita 9.26

Krishna to Arjuna
पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति ।तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः ॥ २६ ॥
Transliteration
patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ toyaṃ yo me bhaktyā prayacchatitadahaṃ bhaktyupahṛtamaśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ

When someone offers me a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water with devotion, I receive that devoted offering from the person of a disciplined heart.

Original King of Dwarka translation

Reflection inspired by Bhagavad Gita 9.26

A leaf, a flower, a fruit, water. The list is almost ordinary. What gives the offering its depth cannot be weighed alongside it.

Source & context

Krishna speaks to Arjuna of receiving a devoted offering. Prayatātman suggests a disciplined or purified inner disposition.
