Kṛṣṇāmṛtamahārṇava · Verses 221-229
jīvitaṃ viṣṇubhaktasya varaṃ pañcadināny api
na tu kalpasahasrais tu bhaktihīnasya keśave.
kiṃ tena jātamātreṇa bhūbhāreṇānnaśatruṇā
yo jāto nārcayed viṣṇuṃ na smaren nāpi kīrtayet.
yo dadāti dvijātibhyaś candanaṃ gopimarditam
api sarṣapamātreṇa punāty āsaptamaṃ kulam.
jñānī ca karmāṇi sado 'ditāni
kuryād akāmaḥ satataṃ bhavet.
atītānāgatajñānī trailokyodvaraṇakṣamaḥ
etādṛśo 'pi nā 'cāraṃ śrautaṃ smārtaṃ parityajet.
yad eva vidyayā karoti śraddhayopaniṣadā
sad eva vīryavattaraṃ bhavati.
kurvan eveha karmāṇi jijīviṣec chataṃ samāḥ
evaṃ tvayi nānyatheto 'sti na karma lipyate nare.
ācāraś caiva sādhūnām ātmanas tuṣṭir eva ca
vedapraṇihito dharmo hy adharmas tadviparyayaḥ.
niṣkāmaṃ jñānapūrvaṃ tu nivṛttam iha cocyate
nivṛttaṃ sevamānas tu brahmābhyeti sanātanam.
