Yavan Na Jayathe  Paravaresmin Vishweshware Dhrishtari Bhakthiyoga: | Thavath Sthaveeya: Purushasya Rooam Kriyavasane  Prayatha:  Smaretha||

Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan, continue the practice of meditation and contemplation upon the Sthoolshareera of the supreme Lord who is Vishweshwara, all-pervasive, beyond body and soul, until you are not successful in it,  gradually, you will attain a balanced state of mind through the practice of Bhakti yoga, further perform all the tasks remembering the supreme Lord.  Oh! Rajan, the practice of Jithasana/comfortably seated in a place and Jithashwasa/controlled breathing, fix your mind and intellect upon the supreme Lord to achieve the serenity of the mind, it would remove the impurities of the mind, and attain union with the supreme soul which elevates in a state of bliss, ultimately it would remove the sorrows and miseries of worldly existence.  Oh! Rajan, an individual who achieved the supreme state of bliss would remain untouched by ‘Time’, or the evil effects caused by the planets, or deities, remain free/unhurt from the three virtues of Rajasik, Sathvik, and Thamasik nature.  Oh! Rajan, it is known as Param Padham/Vaishnava Padham/Vaikundham/free from afflictions, which is beyond description/Nethi Nethi = Na Ithi.  Oh! Rajan, this is the supreme state of spirituality, which removes the afflictions of worldly existence, in this way, Jeeva attains liberation while leaving the mortal coil.”

Shukha Bhramam continues “ Oh! Rajan, whoever attains the serenity of mind would face challenges in their lives with a calm mind engage in the practice of meditation, recitation of sacred names of supreme Lord, while leaving the mortal coil, the mind and intellect originated from the supreme soul get infused to the air/Pranavayu with its unfulfilled desires and lust, it travels to any one of the abodes of fourteen worlds, thus the Jeeva keeps wanders in the fourteen worlds according to their accumulated desires.  Oh! Rajan, I shall describe the easiest way to attain union with the supreme soul Lord Vasudeva, with the practice of Bhakti yoga.  Lord Bhrama conducted search in three worlds and three Vedas found the easiest method of the practice of Bhakti yoga to achieve union with the supreme soul who is Kootastha/ resides as a soul in living beings.”
