शोकं च दोषं च जहे सर्वकालं रागां च काये जहे सर्व अशेषां ।
आश्वासप्राप्तो सो अनन्तकल्पां यो चेतिये अपनये जीर्णपुष्पं ॥ ६०९ ॥

śokaṃ ca doṣaṃ ca jahe sarvakālaṃ rāgāṃ ca kāye jahe sarva aśeṣāṃ |
āśvāsaprāpto so anantakalpāṃ yo cetiye apanaye jīrṇapuṣpaṃ || 609 ||

He shall always escape grief and hate. He shall utterly avoid all passions in his body. For infinite kalpas he who shall remove faded flowers from a shrine, shall enjoy confidence. (609)
