गत्वा तत्र स नित्यं वै पूजयामास तं प्रभुम् । यावज्जीवं वरारोहे ततः सिद्धिं परां गतः
gatvā tatra sa nityaṃ vai pūjayāmāsa taṃ prabhum | yāvajjīvaṃ varārohe tataḥ siddhiṃ parāṃ gataḥ
وہ وہاں جا کر زندگی بھر روزانہ اسی پروردگار کی پوجا کرتا رہا؛ اور پھر آخرکار اس نے اعلیٰ ترین روحانی کمال حاصل کر لیا۔
