tam eva śharaṇaṁ gachchha sarva-bhāvena bhārata tat-prasādāt parāṁ śhāntiṁ sthānaṁ prāpsyasi śhāśhvatam
भावार्थ:
हे भारत! तू सब प्रकार से उस परमेश्वर की ही शरण में (लज्जा, भय, मान, बड़ाई और आसक्ति को त्यागकर एवं शरीर और संसार में अहंता, ममता से रहित होकर एक परमात्मा को ही परम आश्रय, परम गति और सर्वस्व समझना तथा अनन्य भाव से अतिशय श्रद्धा, भक्ति और प्रेमपूर्वक निरंतर भगवान के नाम, गुण, प्रभाव और स्वरूप का चिंतन करते रहना एवं भगवान का भजन, स्मरण करते हुए ही उनके आज्ञा अनुसार कर्तव्य कर्मों का निःस्वार्थ भाव से केवल परमेश्वर के लिए आचरण करना यह ‘सब प्रकार से परमात्मा के ही शरण’ होना है) जा। उस परमात्मा की कृपा से ही तू परम शांति को तथा सनातन परमधाम को प्राप्त होगा॥62॥
