Sanskrit:
पुरेह भूमन् बहवोऽपि योगिन-स्त्वदर्पितेहा निजकर्मलब्धया ।विबुध्य भक्त्यैव कथोपनीतयाप्रपेदिरेऽञ्जोऽच्युत ते गतिं पराम् ॥ ५ ॥
ITRANS:
pureha bhūman bahavo ’pi yoginastvad-arpitehā nija-karma-labdhayāvibudhya bhaktyaiva kathopanītayāprapedire ’ñjo ’cyuta te gatiṁ parām
Translation:
O almighty Lord, in the past many yogīs in this world achieved the platform of devotional service by offering all their endeavors unto You and faithfully carrying out their prescribed duties. Through such devotional service, perfected by the processes of hearing and chanting about You, they came to understand You, O infallible one, and could easily surrender to You and achieve Your supreme abode.
