Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 45
The Characteristics of Devotion to Hari
जन्मनो मरणं नॄणां जन्म वै मृत्युसाधनम् । उभे ते निकटे विद्धि तन्नाशो हरिसेवया ॥ ४५ ॥
janmano maraṇaṃ nṝṇāṃ janma vai mṛtyusādhanam | ubhe te nikaṭe viddhi tannāśo harisevayā || 45 ||
对人而言，生后必有死，而生本身亦是导向死的因。应知此二者相距甚近；唯以事奉哈利（毗湿奴）方能摧破其系缚。
