मोदते ऋषिलोकेषु ऋषिकन्याभिसंवृतः ॥ अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान्रागलोभविवर्जितः
modate ṛṣilokeṣu ṛṣikanyābhisaṃvṛtaḥ || athātra muñcate prāṇān rāgalobhavivarjitaḥ
Se regocija en los mundos de los ṛṣis, rodeado de doncellas de los sabios. Entonces, aquí, libre de pasión y codicia, abandona sus alientos vitales.
