Siapa pun yang pada saat ajal, walau sekejap, memusatkan batinnya kepada Dia yang bercahaya laksana matahari dan bersifat Brahman, akan membakar sisa-sisa reaksi karma dan segera mencapai tujuan tertinggi dalam wujud rohani yang murni. Kalian berdua telah mempersembahkan seva-bhakti yang luar biasa kepada Nārāyaṇa, sebab segala jiwa dan sebab segala sesuatu yang berwujud manusia; kebajikan apa lagi yang masih tersisa bagi kalian?
