Prahlāda said: / "While eating, lying down, traveling, in fever, spitting, or in battle, / one who does not utter the syllable 'Hari' at the time of death is the lowest of men. / In danger, in the royal court, in battle, in disease, during union with a woman, in the forest, / in weakness, or during renunciation, [and] at the time of death, dwelling on earth, / fools and the lowest of men remember their mother and father.
