O emblem of peace! My weapon, the disc of time, never vanquishes those for whom I am very dear, for whom I am the Supersoul, the son, friend, spiritual master, well-wisher, worshipable Deity and desired goal. Since the devotees are always attached to Me, they are never vanquished by the agents of time.'** ## Purport This was spoken by Kapiladeva to His mother Devahūti and is recorded in *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* [[sb/3/25/38|(3.25.38)]]. Kapiladeva instructed His mother in *sāṅkhya-yoga,* but the importance of *bhakti-yoga* is mentioned here. Later *sāṅhkya-yoga* was imitated by atheists, whose system was founded by a different Kapiladeva, Ṛṣi Kapiladeva.
