How fortunate this bride is, who served her husband, the lord of the earth's rulers, with her whole self, as Sri serves the lord of sacrifice. Look: Arci, that true wife, is surely going upward after her husband Vainya, passing us by, through a work we can hardly make out. What is beyond the reach of mortals, even the place of the Bhagavan, if here on earth, with their life so unsteady, they bring themselves to the end of works? But a man is cheated, and his own self's enemy, who having won with great trouble a human birth that leads to release, clings to the things the senses want. While the women of the immortals were praising her, the bride went to her husband's world, the world Vainya reached, foremost of those who know the self, with the Unfallen for his refuge.
