Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 3.3.14

Indeed only for the sake of inducing proper (perfect) meditation all the qualities of the Lord are declared by scripture, and there exists no other purpose for the decla- ration, Accordingly the Parama Samhita, says: “The declaration of the qualities is made for the purpose that they may be known and contemplated as existing in Brahman; hence all the qualities are necessary to be known and to be contemplated in Hari, the purifier, and no other purpose could be seen in the Vidyas than that they are necessary for knowledge and contemplation, the performance of duties enjoined by Scripture, the study and repetition of Scripture.” In the Brihat Tantra also it is said, “ Doubtless all the qualities should be known and contemplated, and no other purpose of (any) im- portance could be seen in their description, and from combining knowledge and meditation together of all the qualities, the most important of all ends is to be obtained, for that most important end cannot be achieved by any other means.”
