अविष्णुः पूजयन्विष्णुं न पूजाफलभाग्भवेत् ।
विष्णुर्भूत्वा यजेद्विष्णुमयं विष्णुरहं स्थितः ॥ ४० ॥

aviṣṇuḥ pūjayanviṣṇuṃ na pūjāphalabhāgbhavet |
viṣṇurbhūtvā yajedviṣṇumayaṃ viṣṇurahaṃ sthitaḥ || 40 ||

He that is not full with Vishnu in himself, does not benefit by his adoration of Vishnu; but he who worships Vishnu by thinking himself as such, finds himself assimilated to his god, and becomes one with him.
