Verse 7.215.17

एतत्ते कथितं कथाक्रमशतैर्बोधाय बुद्धैर्वृहच्छास्त्रं बृंहितब्रह्मतत्त्वममलं दृष्टान्तयुक्त्याञ्चितम् ।
श्रुत्वैतच्चिरनिर्वृतिं भज भृशं जीवद्विमुक्ताशयो लक्ष्मीं ज्ञानतपःक्रियाक्रमयुतां भुक्त्वाऽक्षयामक्षयः ॥ १७ ॥

etatte kathitaṃ kathākramaśatairbodhāya buddhairvṛhacchāstraṃ bṛṃhitabrahmatattvamamalaṃ dṛṣṭāntayuktyāñcitam |
śrutvaitacciranirvṛtiṃ bhaja bhṛśaṃ jīvadvimuktāśayo lakṣmīṃ jñānatapaḥkriyākramayutāṃ bhuktvā'kṣayāmakṣayaḥ || 17 ||

I have thus rehearsed to you the great sastra, in elucidation of divine knowledge and its pure truth; with addition of a great many tales and stories, serving as example and illustrations of the abstruse doctrines for your clear understanding of them. May your hearing of these, serve to lead you to your utter indifference of this world, and to the desire of your liberation in it, while you are alive herein. May this tend also to your continued prosperity, in order to engage your attention towards the perfection of your knowledge and devotion, and to the discharge of the duties of your station without failing.
