The man who fixes his mind on Vishnu goes not to hell ; he who meditates upon Him regards (even) heavenly enjoyments only as an impediment

यस्मिन्नयस्तमतिर्न याति नरकं स्वर्गोऽपि यच्चिन्तने

विप्तो यत्र निवेशितात्ममनसो ब्राह्मोऽपि लोकोऽल्पकः।।

मुक्तिं चेतसि यः स्थितोऽमलधियां पुंसां ददात्यव्ययः

किं चित्रं यदघं प्रयाति विलयं तत्राच्युते कीर्तिते।।

The man who fixes his mind on Vishnu goes not to hell ; he who meditates upon Him regards (even) heavenly enjoyments only as an impediment ; and he whose mind and soul are penetrated by Him, thinks little even of the world of Brahma ; for, when present in the minds of those with unsullied intellects, he confers upon them eternal freedom. What marvel, therefore, is it that the sins of one who, repeats the name of Achyuta should be wiped away!
