विमुक्त: सर्वपापेभ्य इति चैव निबोधत । द्विजवरो! जो मनुष्य इस विषयको विधिपूर्वक जानता है, वह योगी होता है तथा उसे सब पापोंसे छुटकारा मिल जाता है। इसे भलीभाँति समझो

Transliteration

vimuktaḥ sarvapāpebhya iti caiva nibodhata | dvijavara! yo manuṣyaḥ asmin viṣaye vidhipūrvakaṃ jānāti, sa yogī bhavati tathā ca tasya sarvapāpebhyaḥ pramokṣo bhavati | etad bhṛśaṃ nibodhata |

Translation

Vāyu disse: “Sabei-o bem: alguém se liberta de todos os pecados. Ó melhor entre os duas-vezes-nascidos, aquele que compreende este assunto do modo devido e prescrito torna-se um iogue e, assim, alcança a libertação de toda falta. Apreendei isto com clareza.”
