Even if, due to connection with meditation, one perishes without knowing brahman, / nevertheless, from absorption in brahman, one does not obtain birth again. // 15
Then from meditation the sage attains supreme lordly power born of yoga; / having known the supreme self, he would not return again from there. // 16
