तस्मिन्मृताः प्राणिनो ये कामतो वाप्यकामतः । कृमि कीटसमा वापि ते यांति परमां गतिम्
tasminmṛtāḥ prāṇino ye kāmato vāpyakāmataḥ | kṛmi kīṭasamā vāpi te yāṃti paramāṃ gatim
Whatever beings die there—whether intentionally or unintentionally—even if they are like worms or insects, they go to the supreme state.
