तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन भक्त्या तमवलोकयन् । अपि पातकयुक्तोऽपि न याति नरके नरः
tasmātsarvaprayatnena bhaktyā tamavalokayan | api pātakayukto'pi na yāti narake naraḥ
Ainsi donc, avec tous ses efforts, en Le contemplant avec dévotion — même celui qui est chargé de fautes ne va pas en enfer.

Scene: A sinner-laden pilgrim approaching the Lord with trembling devotion; upon darśana, darkness recedes—symbolic hell-gates closing, light from the deity’s presence protecting the devotee.
Devotional turning toward the Lord at a sacred site is presented as a strong purifier that blocks the path to naraka.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, through the saving darśana of Narakeśvara.
Make earnest effort to take darśana (avalokana) of the Lord with devotion.
