ततः परं तु यन्नित्यं ज्ञानमानंदमव्ययम् ॥ तन्निष्ठैस्तत्परैर्भक्तैर्दृश्यं तद्व्रतमाश्रितैः ॥ २८ ॥
Beyond that is that which is eternal, blissful and inexhaustible. It is seen by those who are devoted to Him and who are devoted to Him and who observe that vow.

प्रसादादेव सा भक्तिः प्रसादो भक्तिसंभवः ॥ यथा चांकुरतो बीजं बीजतो वा यथांकुरः ॥ ३० ॥
Devotion is the result of grace and grace is the result of devotion just as the sprout comes out of the seed and produces the seed.
