Nārāyaṇa as the Sacrificial Principle, Analysis of the Three Guṇas, and the Account of Delusion-Doctrines
भूर्लोकवासिनः सर्वे पुरा यष्ट्वा जनार्दनम् । भुवर्लोकं प्रपद्यन्ते तत्रस्था अपि केशवम् ॥ आराध्य स्वर्गतिं यान्ति क्रमान्मुक्तिं व्रजन्ति च ॥ ७०.३० ॥
bhūrlokavāsinaḥ sarve purā yaṣṭvā janārdanam | bhuvarlokaṃ prapadyante tatrasthā api keśavam | ārādhya svargatiṃ yānti kramān muktiṃ vrajanti ca || 70.30 ||
धरती पर रहने वाले लोग पहले जनार्दन की पूजा करते थे। फिर वो ऊपर के लोक में जाते थे। वहाँ भी लोग केशव की पूजा करते थे। फिर वो स्वर्ग में जाते थे। ऐसे ही आगे बढ़ते रहते थे। आखिरी में मुक्ति मिल जाती थी।
