By the one, (one) goeth never to return; by the other, one (going) cometh back. Knowing these two paths, O son of Pritha, no devotee is deluded. Therefore, at all times, be endued with devotion, O Arjuna. The meritorious fruit that is prescribed for the (study of the) Vedas, for sacrifices, for ascetic austerities and for gifts, a devotee knowing all this (that hath been said here), attaineth to it all, and (also) attaineth the Supreme and Primeval seat.' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 6.30.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.30.26) - [Next: 6.30.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.30.28) - [Up: 6.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.30) ## Translations (2) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.6.32.2.4) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English - [Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.gita~en-swarupananda.8.27) — Swami Swarupananda 1909, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Bhāratabhāvadīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa!nilakantha.6.32.27) — Nīlakaṇṭha Caturdhara 1650, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (2) - [Southern recension](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*southern.6.32.27) — Sanskrit - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.6.32.27) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (2) - [Bhagavadgītā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.gita.8.27) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vulgate (700 verses)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.gita*vulgate.8.27) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.30.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.30.27) · Pramāṇa
