Ensuite, Pṛṣadhra fut délivré de tout fardeau, l’esprit paisible et les sens maîtrisés. Par une bhakti exclusive, il se fixa en Bhagavān Vāsudeva, le Paramātmā transcendant et sans souillure, devenant l’ami de tous les êtres et voyant chacun avec égalité.
FAQs

The devotee is equal-minded, a friend of all beings (sarva-bhūta-suhṛt), and fixed in pure devotion to the Supreme Lord who dwells as the Self of all.
See others as souls connected to the same Lord, avoid needless enmity, and act with compassion and fairness while keeping devotion to Vāsudeva as the center.
