should abandon his vital breaths [here], great is his fruit of merit:
freed from all sin and released from all fetters,
he becomes a lord of attendants equal to Nandin, capable of going everywhere.

his mind completely freed from all sin, he shall become a most terrifying lord of attendants of mine.”
