Whatever fruit of merit is declared (in the scriptures) to accrue from (the study of) the Vedas, (the performance of) sacrifices, (the practice of) austerities, and gifts, beyond all this goes the Yogi, having known this; and he attains to the Supreme, Primeval (first or ancient) Abode.

Shri Purohit Swami

योगी इसको (शुक्ल और कृष्णमार्गके रहस्यको) जानकर वेदोंमें, यज्ञोंमें, तपोंमें तथा दानमें जो-जो पुण्यफल कहे गये हैं, उन सभी पुण्यफलोंका अतिक्रमण कर जाता है और आदिस्थान परमात्माको प्राप्त हो जाता है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

योगी पुरुष यह सब (दोनों मार्गों के तत्त्व को) जानकर वेदाध्ययन, यज्ञ, तप और दान करने में जो पुण्य फल कहा गया है, उस सबका उल्लंघन कर जाता है और आद्य (सनातन), परम स्थान को प्राप्त होता है।
