हित्वा गतीर्मोक्षकामा यं भजंति दशात्मकम् । तं परं सत्यममलं त्वां वयं पर्युपास्महे
hitvā gatīrmokṣakāmā yaṃ bhajaṃti daśātmakam | taṃ paraṃ satyamamalaṃ tvāṃ vayaṃ paryupāsmahe
ਹੋਰ ਸਭ ਗਤੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗ ਕੇ, ਮੋਖਸ਼ ਦੇ ਇੱਛੁਕ ਜਨ ਤੈਨੂੰ—ਦਸ-ਰੂਪੀ ਨੂੰ—ਭਜਦੇ ਹਨ। ਤੂੰ ਪਰਮ ਸਤ੍ਯ, ਨਿਰਮਲ ਅਤੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਹੈਂ; ਅਸੀਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਨਿਰੰਤਰ ਉਪਾਸਦੇ ਹਾਂ।

Liberation is pursued by exclusive devotion to the Supreme, recognized as the pure and ultimate Reality.
No specific sacred geography is stated; the verse is a doctrinal praise of the deity within the chapter’s devotional flow.
Upāsanā—continuous worship/attendance upon the Lord, implying japa, remembrance, and devotion.
