Translations
Having taken refuge in Me and doing all actions, by My grace he obtains the eternal, indestructible state of being.
Relying on Me in all his actions and doing them for My sake, he attains, by My grace, eternal and unchangeable life.
Ever engaging in all actions, one to whom I am the refuge, attains the eternal, immutable state through my grace.
मेरा आश्रय लेनेवाला भक्त सदा सब कर्म करता हुआ भी मेरी कृपासे शाश्वत अविनाशी पदको प्राप्त हो जाता है।Commentary
Worshipping Me with the flowers of his good actions he reaches the imperishable Brahmic seat of ineffable splendour through My grace. He attains union with Me and enjoys the supreme bliss. If by chance he commits some prohibited actions, still, as in the Ganga (Indias most holy river) the waters of the drains and roads find union, so My devotee, becoming united with Me, is unaffected by these prohibited actions. Worship of the Lord through ones duties purifies the heart of the aspirant and prepares him for the devotion to knowledge which eventually leads him to the attainment of Selfrealisation.
The Yoga of Devotion is eulogised here. All actions Good actions and even the prohibited actions. He who takes shelter in Me? Vaasudeva, the Lord, with his whole self centred in Me attains the eternal abode of Vishnu, by the grace of the Lord.
