Sanskrit Text

ये शिष्टास्त्रयो भक्ताः फलकामा हि ते मताः सर्वे च्यवनधर्माणः प्रतिबुद्धस्तु श्रेष्ठभाक्

English Translation

The three remaining classes of my worshippers are those who seek the fruits of their acts. They acquire regions of great happiness, but then they have to drop down therefrom upon the exhaustion of their merits. Those amongst my worshippers, therefore, who are fully awakened obtain what is foremost.
