**Aaturpraatyaakhyaana Prakirnakam**
**Aatur** 61: Why should this not be given up? Because even a single verse from the Shruta Skandha or the Panchanamaskara, contemplated upon at the time of death, makes one who is devoted to the right faith, knowledge, conduct, and austerities, a devotee.
**Aatur** 62: What is the fruit of devotion? To this, it is said: One who is devoted to the right faith, knowledge, etc., and who has made time for it, and has performed it well, attains the three excellences and then attains Nirvana.
**Aatur** 63: Having heard the Acharya's consolation and knowing the scriptures, the patient, desiring to bring about a result based on cause, said: "I have a feeling that the Shramanas are equal to me, and that I am equal to all who are restrained in all ways. I give up everything, and this is what I have said in brief."
