The man, however, that salutes Krishna is freed from re-birth. They who have Krishna for their vow, they who think of Krishna in the night, and upon getting up from sleep, may be said to have Krishna for their body. Those people (after death) enter Krishna's self even as libations of clarified butter sanctified with mantras enter the burning fire.
कृष्णव्रताः कृष्णमनुस्मरन्तो रात्रौ च कृष्णं पुनरुत्थिता ये। माज्यं यथा मन्त्रहुतं हुताशे॥
