ādau pātraṃ sukhānāmahamamarajitā preyasā tadviyuktānirduṣṭā tadya
tiṣye priyamamṛtagataṃ prāpnuyāṃ yena caiva 65
ityuktvā sasakhī vṛṃdā visasarjāpsarogaṇān
tatprītipāśabaddhāstā nityamāyāṃti yāṃti ca 66
yogābhyāsena vṛṃdātha dagdhvā jñānāgninā guṇān
viṣayebhyaḥ samāhṛtya manaḥ prāpa tataḥ param 67
dṛṣṭvā vṛṃdārikāṃ tatra mahāṃtaścāpsarogaṇāḥ

At first I was the vessel of joys with my beloved who conquered the immortals; now separated from him,
blameless, I will strive so that I may indeed reach my beloved who has attained immortality."
Having spoken thus, Vṛndā, together with her companion, dismissed the hosts of apsarases;
bound by the bonds of love for her, they constantly came and went.
Then Vṛndā, having burned away the qualities with the fire of knowledge through the practice of yoga,
and having withdrawn her mind from the sense-objects, attained the Supreme beyond them.
Seeing Vṛndārikā there, the great hosts of apsarases
were pleased and praised [her] from the sky and rained down showers of flowers.
