<a id="line-1"></a>ज्ञान मरै दै मुक्ति पद, कर्म मरै दै स्वर्ग ।  
<a id="line-2"></a>अमर रहै इक भक्ति ही, चह न स्वर्ग अपवर्ग ॥६१॥

Published Hindi meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-3"></a>भावार्थ - मोक्ष देकर ज्ञान समाप्त हो जाता है। स्वर्ग देकर कर्म समाप्त हो  
<a id="line-4"></a>जाता है। किंतु भक्ति अमरत्व दान करती है। स्वयं भी अमर रहती है। अतः  
<a id="line-5"></a>भक्त स्वर्ग मोक्ष कुछ नहीं चाहता।

Source Roman transliteration

<a id="line-6"></a>Gyȧn marai ḍai mukṭi paḍ, karm marai ḍai swarg.  
<a id="line-7"></a>Amar rahai ik bhakṭi hi, chah na swarg apvarg. [61]

Published English meaning — H.D. Swami Prakashanand Saraswati

<a id="line-8"></a>Brahm gyan finishes after a soul is liberated (as the soul's  
<a id="line-9"></a>intellectual identity is absolutely terminated). Similarly, all the  
<a id="line-10"></a>good karmas are finished after awarding the luxuries of the  
<a id="line-11"></a>celestial abodes (for a limited period). But bhakti is beyond  
<a id="line-12"></a>gyan and karm and is eternal and gives immortality. A true  
<a id="line-13"></a>bhakt (devotee) does not desire for the luxuries of celestial  
<a id="line-14"></a>abodes or liberation.
