He who is wearing his last body now,

Whose life is pure, whose senses well controlled—

He has gained freedom!—as the moon set free,

When an eclipse has passed, from Rahu’s jaws.

The utter darkness of delusion,

Which reached to every cranny of his mind,

He has dispelled; and with it every sin—

Just as the thousand-ray’d and mighty sun

Sheds glorious lustre over all the earth,

And dissipates the clouds!
