ज्ञानं विशुद्धं परमार्थमेकं

यद्वासुदेवं कवयो वदन्ति ।

रहूगणैतत्तपसा न याति

न चेज्यया निर्वपणाद्गग्रहाद्वा ।

न च्छन्दसा नैव जलाग्निसूर्यै:

विना महत्पादरजोऽभिषेकम् ॥

"Pure knowledge is the one Truth, and

that, the men of vision say, is Lord

Vasudeva. Rahugana, this man does not

attain to by penance, sacrificial rite,

libation, or household life; not by

recitation of the Veda, never by worship

of Water. Fire or Sun. It cannot be

attained except by bathing oneself in the

dust of the feet of the great.
