Alas! how happy am I? I have come to the bank of the ocean of life. Otherwise, where am I? Where is he? Where can I come across with him? (91) Blessed am I indeed! I have acquired the Namaskara which has five steps and is an inconceivable Chintamani in the ocean of life. (92)
Am I sprinkled over by embrosia on all limbs today? Am I blessed with all happiness though untimely? (93)
Thus, the Namaskara conducted with an emotion of all quietude, annihilates all our bad Karmas when conducted in all emotion, just as the treatment of coolness destroys all poison and its effects. (94) When one recites the Navakara at the time of death, invites all happiness and discards all sorrow. (95) This Navakara is the mother and the father, it is ones, natural friend who is extremely beneficial. (96) Only this Navakara is the highest good and blessedness, the greatest of all benedictions, the highest of the Punyas and the best of fruits or rewards. (97) For the travellers-the Jivas proceed on the path of the higher world after leaving the house in this world, this Navakara constitutes the finest tiffin. (98)
Just as the taste of the letters of the Navakara affects the mind happily, the knots of the Karma of the Jiva get annihilated exactly like a wet water-pot filled with water.
(99)
The chariot driven by the charioteer in form of the five Namaskaras of the Navakara, which has the "horses in form of knowledge joined to it, and the chariot of austerities, conduct and self-control, takes man to the city of salvation. (100)
