"These are styled Adoration, Emanation, Manifestation, the Subtile, the Internal Controller,
"Resorting whereto souls attain to successive stages of knowledge.
"As a man's sins are worn away by each successive worship,
"He becomes qualified for the worship of each next embodiment.
"Thus day by day, according to religion, revealed and traditional,
"By the aforesaid worship Vásudeva becomes propitious to mankind.
"Hari, when propitiated by devotion in the form of meditation,
"At once brings to a close that illusion which is the aggregate of works.
"Then in souls the essential attributes, from which transmigration has vanished,
"Are manifested, auspicious, omniscience, and the rest.
