Swami Swarupananda, Srimad Bhagavad Gita (1909)
[4]Whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water — that I accept when offered by the striving soul with devotion.
BG 9.26
पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति | तदहं भक्त्युपहृतमश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः ||२६||
patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ toyaṃ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati | tad ahaṃ bhakty-upahṛtam aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ || 26 ||
"A leaf, a flower, a fruit, a drop of water — offered with devotion, I receive it: the striving heart's gift is enough."

William Quan Judge, The Bhagavad Gita (1890)
[6]Whoever with devotion presents to me a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, and so with a purified mind, that devotional gift I accept.
Sir Edwin Arnold, The Song Celestial (1885)
[7]He that will bring to me with mind devout / A leaf, a flower, a fruit, water poured — / That gift of love I take from any heart / That lovingly doth give it.
