1.5.17
tyaktvā svadharmaṃ caraṇāmbujaṃ harer bhajann apakvo 'tha patet tato yadi /
yatra kva vābhadram abhūdamuṣya kiṃ ko vārtha āpto 'bhajatāṃ svadharmataḥ //
17. If he who neglects his duties, Nitya and Naimittika, and devotes himself only to the worship of Sri Hari's lotus-like feet, fall (die or is interrupted in the course of devotion before he attains perfect wisdom),—does he once for all fail to attain the highest good? Does any evil ever befall him, even if he should be born among unworthy beings? (No, no evil befalls him). On the other hand, what purpose is gained by those that do their own duties without devotion to the Lord?
