मोदते तस्य लोकेषु ऋषिकन्याप्रमोदितः ॥ अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान् सर्वसङ्गविवर्जितः
modate tasya lokeṣu ṛṣikanyāpramoditaḥ || athātra muñcate prāṇānsarvasaṅgavivarjitaḥ
वो स्वर्ग में खुश रहता है, वहाँ रिशियों की बेटियाँ भी हैं जो उसे खुश करती हैं। फिर यहीं उसका जनम छूट जाता है, क्योंकि वो दुनिया का सब बंधन छोड़ चुका होता है।
