समर्प्य च भृशं प्रार्थ्य विसृज्याद्यात्स्वयं ततः । एतत्सर्वाप्तिदं नाम संप्रोक्तं सार्वकामिकम् ॥ ५९ ॥
samarpya ca bhṛśaṃ prārthya visṛjyādyātsvayaṃ tataḥ | etatsarvāptidaṃ nāma saṃproktaṃ sārvakāmikam || 59 ||
అది సమర్పించి హృదయపూర్వకంగా ప్రార్థించి, తరువాత విసర్జించి తానే వెళ్లాలి. ఇది ‘సర్వాప్తిద’ అనే నామంతో, సమస్త ధర్మసమ్మత కోరికలను నెరవేర్చేదిగా చెప్పబడింది।
