Shandilya Bhakti Sutra, Sutra 1 · Attributed to Sage Shandilya · Ancient (classical period of the Bhakti tradition)

The Shandilya Bhakti Sutra opens, in deliberate echo of the Brahma Sutra, with the words 'Atha ataḥ' — 'Now, therefore' — but directs the enquiry toward devotion rather than Brahman. The commentators explain that, having recognized devotion as the supreme means to the highest good, the qualified seeker now undertakes the systematic investigation into its nature. The following sutras define bhakti as supreme attachment to the Lord, distinguish it from mere knowledge and ritual, and establish it as the direct path to liberation, making this aphorism the gateway to Shandilya's whole teaching on love of God.

✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ

The Bhakti tradition holds that Shandilya, a great seer of the lineage, set down this enquiry so that devotion would be honoured as a complete path in its own right; and the saints affirm that one who earnestly takes up this enquiry into love of God is, by that very turning of the heart, set firmly on the road to the supreme goal.

Recite this opening sutra slowly and with reverence as the doorway into the enquiry of devotion. Pause on the word 'atha' (now), feeling that this very moment is the right time to take up the study of bhakti. Then continue with the sutras that define and develop the nature of devotion. It is traditionally chanted as the invocation that begins study of the entire Shandilya Bhakti Sutra.

It means 'Now, therefore, (begins) the enquiry into devotion.' It is the first sutra of the Shandilya Bhakti Sutra, declaring that the seeker now undertakes the deliberate investigation into the nature of bhakti.

The Shandilya Bhakti Sutra is a classical work of aphorisms on devotion attributed to the sage Shandilya. Alongside the Narada Bhakti Sutra it is one of the two principal sutra-texts of the Bhakti tradition, defining bhakti and establishing it as a direct path to the supreme goal.

The opening deliberately parallels the Brahma Sutra. Where the Brahma Sutra begins 'Athato brahma jijnasa' (now the enquiry into Brahman), the Shandilya Bhakti Sutra begins 'Athato bhakti-jijnasa' (now the enquiry into devotion) — placing the enquiry into bhakti alongside the enquiry into Brahman.

The text defines bhakti as supreme attachment or loving devotion (para-anurakti) to God (Ishvara). It argues that this devotion, and not knowledge or action alone, is the direct means to liberation and the highest good.
