SB 9.4.63
sri-bhagavan uvaca
aham bhakta-paradhino
hy asvatantra iva dvija
sadhubhir grasta-hrdayo
bhaktair bhakta-jana-priyah
sri-bhagavan uvaca—the Supreme Personality of Godhead said; aham—I; bhakta-paradhinah—am dependent on the will of My devotees; hi—indeed; asvatantrah—am not independent; iva—exactly like that; dvija—O brahmana; sadhubhih—by pure devotees, completely free from all material desires; grasta-hrdayah—My heart is controlled; bhaktaih—because they are devotees; bhakta-jana-priyah—I am dependent not only on My devotee but also on My devotee’s devotee (the devotee’s devotee is extremely dear to Me).
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said to the brahmana: I am completely under the control of My devotees. Indeed, I am not at all independent. Because My devotees are completely devoid of material desires, I sit only within the cores of their hearts. What to speak of My devotee, even those who are devotees of My devotee are very dear to Me.
Lord Vishnu to Durvasa Muni
