জগত গুৰু শ্ৰীমন্ত শঙ্কৰদেৱৰ অমৃত সিদ্ধান্ত

---

Take explanation of what vedas tell on wisdom,
and know it, wisdom is within devotion ;
On practising devotion, wisdom is born spontaneously,
and thinkers of meditation get sorrow without gain. (200)
(Translated by Dr Paraag Bhooyaan)

c) Mukuti rasako sravai tohmaara bhakati |
taanka eri gyaana pathe jito karai rati ||
klesha maatra paavai sito nisphala prayaase |
baahaane pataana jena tandulaka aashe Il (745)
(Srimanta Sankardeva Keertan Ghoshaa )

Even the blissful salvation is saturated by the devotion to Krishna : and the person who abandons the way of devotion and practice the way of gyaana yoga ; will get only the misery, which is the result of fruitless endeavour, and it is like searching rice grain from the pady-husk. (745). (Translated by Dr Paraag Bhooyaan)
