बहुसुखदुःखकराकराक्षयेयं परमपदास्मरणात्समागतेह ।
परमपदावगमात्प्रयाति नाशं विहगपतिस्मरणाद्विषव्यथेव ॥ १६ ॥

bahusukhaduḥkhakarākarākṣayeyaṃ paramapadāsmaraṇātsamāgateha |
paramapadāvagamātprayāti nāśaṃ vihagapatismaraṇādviṣavyatheva || 16 ||

It is forgetfulness of Supreme felicity, that causes one to rove in various births of weal or woe; but the knowledge of the Supreme, causes the cessation of transmigration;as the remembrance of Garuda, destroys the power of the most destructive poison.
