Verse 6.38.37

एतत्पवित्रमखिलाघविघातहेतुं यस्त्वाचरिष्यति नरः क्षणमप्यखिन्नः ।
तं वन्दयिष्यति सुरासुरलोकपूगः प्राप्तास्पदं जगति मामिव मुक्तमात्मन् ॥ ३७ ॥

etatpavitramakhilāghavighātahetuṃ yastvācariṣyati naraḥ kṣaṇamapyakhinnaḥ |
taṃ vandayiṣyati surāsuralokapūgaḥ prāptāspadaṃ jagati māmiva muktamātman || 37 ||

This mode of holy adoration destroys all sins; and whoso practices it for a minute with a steady mind, he is certainly entitled to the venerations of gods and demigods, and placed in the rank of emancipated spirits like myself.
