My dear King Yudhiṣṭhira, the gopīs by their lusty desires, Kaṁsa by his fear, Śiśupāla and other kings by envy, the Yadus by their familial relationship with Kṛṣṇa, you Pāṇḍavas by your great affection for Kṛṣṇa, and we, the general devotees, by our devotional service, have obtained the mercy of Kṛṣṇa.
Srimad Bhagavata Purana

कतमोऽपि न वेनः स्यात्पञ्चानां पुरुषं प्रति । तस्मात्केनाप्युपायेन मनः कृष्णे निवेशयेत्
katamo'pi na venaḥ syātpañcānāṃ puruṣaṃ prati | tasmātkenāpyupāyena manaḥ kṛṣṇe niveśayet
