Meaning:
Whatever be the status and caste devotion to Vishnu alone is important.
Does not a crow propagate sacred Aswaddha(cedar) trees? Is not precious pearl hiding in ordinary shell? Is not antidote to poison grown in an a creeper plant? Eminent seers may take birth in any caste.
Are not valuable diamonds found in stones? Are you not getting honey because of bees? Don't we get javvadi perfume from the body of a cat? Unblemished devotees may born in any class.
Does not fragrant lotus grow in dirty mud? Is not pure silk produced by ordinary insects? Devotees of Sri Venkatesa may be of any lineage.
