7.7

eko 'pi kṛṣṇasya sakṛtpraṇāmo
daśāśvamedhāvabhṛthena tulyaḥ;
daśaśvamedhī punar eti janma,
kṛṣṇapraṇāmī na punarbhavāya. || 7 ||

7. “One single obeisance made before Kṛṣṇa is equal in its effect to the purification-rites performed after ten açvamedhas [‘horse-sacrifices’; that is, ‘is equal to ten completed horse-sacrifices’]. The performer of ten açvamedhas is born again; but one who has made obeisance to Kṛṣṇa is not destined for rebirth.”
