Kẻ phàm nhân sẽ không còn bị ràng buộc trở lại làm con, cũng không còn sinh lại trong bào thai. Vì vậy, hỡi mọi người, hãy kiên quyết phụng thờ Cakrin (Đức Viṣṇu, Đấng mang đĩa thần) bằng tài sản chân chánh của chính mình.

FAQs
It states that devoted worship of Vishnu (Cakrin), performed with one’s own rightful resources, leads to release from repeated birth—no return to the womb and no re-entry into worldly roles like being born as someone’s son.
Bhakti is presented as decisive, practical worship (pūjā) directed to Vishnu, done with personal sincerity and self-earned means, culminating in liberation (moksha) rather than merely worldly merit.
Ritual discipline (kalpa-oriented practice) is implied: performing pūjā properly and ethically—especially the insistence on ātma-vitta (one’s own honestly obtained wealth) as a key rule for valid worship and offerings.
