यस्मिन् जन: प्राणवियोगकाले क्षणं समावेश्य मनोऽविशुद्धम् । निर्हृत्य कर्माशयमाशु याति परां गतिं ब्रह्ममयोऽर्कवर्ण: ॥ ३२ ॥ तस्मिन् भवन्तावखिलात्महेतौ नारायणे कारणमर्त्यमूर्तौ । भावं विधत्तां नितरां महात्मन् किं वावशिष्टं युवयो: सुकृत्यम् ॥ ३३ ॥
yasmin janaḥ prāṇa-viyoga-kāle kṣanaṁ samāveśya mano ’viśuddham nirhṛtya karmāśayam āśu yāti parāṁ gatiṁ brahma-mayo ’rka-varṇaḥ
Sinumang sa oras ng pagpanaw, kahit saglit lamang, ay ituon ang isip sa Kanya—ang Brahman-maya na kasingliwanag ng araw—ay sinusunog ang bakas ng karma at agad nakakamit ang pinakamataas na hantungan sa dalisay na anyong espirituwal. Kayong dalawa ay naghandog ng pambihirang bhakti-seva kay Nārāyaṇa, ang Kaluluwa ng lahat at sanhi ng lahat, na nagpakitang-tao; ano pang kabutihang gawa ang kailangan ninyo?
