Whether lost through yoga or by the fall of Bhrigu, O wise one—
गतिं मतिमतां श्रेष्ठ सत्यमेतदुदीरितम्
This is the truth, O best of the wise, as has been declared regarding the path.
प्रयाति लोके धरणीधरस्य विदुष्टकर्मापि मनुष्यजन्मा
Even a human born with evil deeds attains the world of the Lord of the Earth.
विज्ञप्ति मात्राभयदाप्तिकालं कुरुष्व सर्गस्थितिनासहेतोः

By men without blemish and by various travelers, honored by the three worlds—
यो न पूर्यति लोकैघैः सर्वसत्वसरोरुहैः
He who is not filled by the multitudes of worlds, nor by all the lotuses of beings—
स्वकर्मस्था विकर्मस्थाः शुचयो ऽशुचयो ऽपि वा
Whether they remain in their own duties or act otherwise, whether they are pure or impure,
सो ऽस्माकं हि महान् शत्रुर्भवतां च विशेषतः
He is indeed our great enemy, and especially yours.

रुक्माङ्गदेन देवेश धन्या सा स धृतो यया
O Lord of the gods, she is blessed by whom the golden-limbed one was held.
किमपत्येन जातेन मातुः क्लेशकरेण हि
What is the use of a child born, if he brings suffering to his mother?
वृथाशूला हि जननी जाता देव कुपुत्रिणी

तमुपोष्य कथं सौरे न गच्छति नरस्त्विति
Having served him, how does a man not attain the sun?
दशाश्वमेधी पुनरेति जन्म कष्णप्रणामी न पुनर्भवाय
He who performs ten Aśvamedha sacrifices is born again, but one who bows to Kṛṣṇa is not born again.
