अथात्र मुञ्चते प्राणान्कृत्वा कर्म सुदुष्करम् ॥ रुद्रलोकं समुत्सृज्य मम लोकं च गच्छति
athātra muñcate prāṇān kṛtvā karma suduṣkaram || rudra-lokaṃ samutsṛjya mama lokaṃ ca gacchati
फिर जो यहाँ अपना प्राण छोड़ देता है, वो बहुत मुश्किल काम कर चुका होता है। रुद्र की दुनिया को छोड़ के वो मेरे पास आता है।
