Verse 41

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ४१ ॥

In plain words

Whoever holds this vision in mind at first light and recites this jewel of a hymn day after day—what words could do justice to that person’s blessed course, or proclaim it even briefly? Such a one comes to full prosperity, is held in high esteem wherever people gather, and is dear to all. After a lifespan of a hundred years, he reaches the state of Parabrahman—the Supreme Brahman—Śiva, Manmatha’s foe.

Close to the Sanskrit

Whoever, meditating thus at dawn, recites this jewel of hymns each day — what shall we say of his merit, or how shall we proclaim it even in brief? Having fully obtained the entire range of prosperity, high regard in the assembly, and dearness to all the world, at the end of a hundred years of life he goes to the state of the supreme Brahman, the enemy of Manmatha.
