धर्मस्योपनिषत्सत्यं मोक्षस्योपनिषत्समम् ।। क्षेत्रतीर्थोपनिषदमविमुक्तं विदुर्बुधाः ।। २३ ।।
Truth is the esoteric doctrine of Dharmas. Equanimity is the esoteric doctrine of salvation. Learned men know Avimukta as the esoteric doctrine of all shrines and holy centres.
Any being, enjoying pleasures at his will, sleeping, sporting or performing different activities, attains salvation if he casts off his life at Avimukta.
कृत्वा पापसहस्राणि पिशाचत्वं वरं नृणाम् ।। न च क्रतुसहस्रत्वं स्वर्गे काशीं पुरीं विना ।। २५ ।।
It is far better for men to become ghost after committing thousands of sins and stay at Kāśī than to attain heaven after performing a thousand sacrifices but without going to the city of Kāśī.
