worship and bathe in the dust of Thy feet? Who would accept something like Swarga for the sake of the pleasures there which would in the next step make him forget Thee? (Who would resort to any other deity for the sake of lordly fortune or for the forgetting of Samsara, i. e., Moksha)?

6. Even through a long life of a Brahma, the wise that realise Thee, remember Thy grace and, overful of joy, O Lord, cannot at all repay their debt, for Thou drivest away all the evil of creatures, Thyself being present as the preceptor on the outside and as Antaryamin within and revealest Thyself unto them, (therefore they resign themselves only unto Thee).
