The Glory of the Vāsudeva Hymn: Boons, Japa across the Yugas, and Ascent to Vaikuṇṭha
तेन त्वं मुक्तिभागी च संजातो नात्र संशयः । मम लोके प्रभुंक्ष्व त्वं दिव्यान्भोगान्मनोनुगान्
tena tvaṃ muktibhāgī ca saṃjāto nātra saṃśayaḥ | mama loke prabhuṃkṣva tvaṃ divyānbhogānmanonugān
فلذلك صرتَ حقًّا نصيبًا من التحرّر، ولا شكّ في ذلك. فتمتّع في عالمي بلذّاتٍ إلهيّةٍ توافق ما تشتهيه النفس.
