Somewhere karmas are performed for the manes and somewhere the Vedic injunctions are followed!
Somewhere the dances are accomplished and somewhere songs are sung!
Somewhere the Shastras and Smritis are recited!
May pray stading on a single foot! 17. 137
Many are attached to their bodies and many reside in their homes!
Many wander in various countries as hermits!
Many live in water and many endure the heat of fire!
Many worship the Lord with face upside down! 18. 138
Many practice Yoga for various kalpas (ages)!
Still they cannot know the Lord’s end!
Many a million indulge in the study of sciences!
Still they cannot behold the Sight of the Lord! 19. 139
Without the power of devotion they cannot realise the Lord!
Though they perform havens hold Yagyas (sacrifices) and offer charities!
Without the single-minded absorption in he Lord’s Name !
All the religious rituals are useless! 20. 140
BY THY GRACE TOTAK STANZA!
Gather ye together and shout victory to that Lord!
In whose Fear tremble the heaven nether-world and the earth!
For whose realization all the ascetics of water and land perform austerities!
