PURPORT
This was spoken by Kapiladeva to His mother Devahuti and is recorded in Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.25.38).
Kapiladeva instructed His mother in sankhya-yoga, but the importance of bhakti-yoga is mentioned here.
Later sanhkya-yoga was imitated by atheists, whose system was founded by a different Kapiladeva, Rsi Kapiladeva.
