Chapter 21:  Instructions by Mahârâja Prithu

(31) Persons of penance destroy, because of their inclination to serve at the lotus feet, immediately the dirt that accumulated in their minds in countless births. Just like the [Ganges] water that emanating from His toes vanquishes all dirt, they, day after day, see their purity increasing.

thus thoroughly spiritually purified gave up his vehicle of time.

must meditate upon this form [of Yours] in a devotional practice of yoga [bhakti-yoga].
