अप्यहं सन्त्यजे प्राणान्सर्वस्वं वा न संशयः । हरिणा सह संग्रामं नाहं कर्तुमहो क्षमः
apyahaṃ santyaje prāṇānsarvasvaṃ vā na saṃśayaḥ | hariṇā saha saṃgrāmaṃ nāhaṃ kartumaho kṣamaḥ
আমি প্রাণ ত্যাগ করতেও প্রস্তুত, কিংবা সর্বস্বও—এতে সন্দেহ নেই; কিন্তু হায়, হরির সঙ্গে যুদ্ধ করতে আমি সক্ষম নই।
Prahlāda

Devotion culminates in surrender: one may sacrifice everything, but never oppose the very Lord one recognizes as supreme.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse.
None; it expresses a vow-like resolve rooted in devotion.
