वन्ध्यं शिखिध्वज त्यक्त्वा पूर्णमेव समाश्रय ।
इष्टं मे प्रार्थयस्वेति यथैव प्रार्थ्यते सखे ॥ ४५ ॥

Therefore, O Sikhidvaja, abandon the barren soil (of rituals), and resort to the abundant field (of divine knowledge); and ask of me to know your best good, as men desire to know of their best friends.
