Srimad Bhagavatam 11.14.1

Uddhava asks Krishna
वदन्ति कृष्ण श्रेयांसि बहूनि ब्रह्मवादिनः ।तेषां विकल्पप्राधान्यमुताहो एकमुख्यता ॥
Transliteration
vadanti kṛṣṇa śreyāṃsi bahūni brahmavādinaḥteṣāṃ vikalpaprādhānyamutāho ekamukhyatā

Krishna, teachers of sacred knowledge describe many paths to the highest good. Are these equally important alternatives, or is one foremost?

Original King of Dwarka translation

Reflection inspired by Srimad Bhagavatam 11.14.1

There are many accounts of what matters most. Uddhava brings that uncertainty into the conversation; the question itself is not treated as a failure of devotion.

Source & context
