Srimad Bhagavatam — Ekadasha Skandha, Shloka 14
The Disappearance of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the Aftermath in Dvārakā
य एतां प्रातरुत्थाय कृष्णस्य पदवीं पराम् । प्रयत: कीर्तयेद् भक्त्या तामेवाप्नोत्यनुत्तमाम् ॥ १४ ॥
ya etāṁ prātar utthāya kṛṣṇasya padavīṁ parām prayataḥ kīrtayed bhaktyā tām evāpnoty anuttamām
毎朝早く起き、慎みをもって信愛により、シュリー・クリシュナの至高の歩み—その超越の去来と御自身のダーマへの帰還—を讃えて唱える者は、必ずや同じ無上の帰趣を得る。
