These and other countless devotees -- no true reckoning of the names can be made; however much and long one tells, it does not end, for wisdom cannot grasp what is beyond bound.

Countless poets have told them and gone, and countless more will tell hereafter; yet still the account of Hari's devotees' names will never run short.

Wherever the manifest Purushottam is, there countless souls are redeemed; by the Lord's sight and touch, men and women attain the supreme state.

Animals, birds, trees and vines, whatever moving or unmoving life there be -- whichever of them is touched by the Supreme Brahman becomes at once divine, even as Shiva himself.

Where such souls are redeemed, there is no doubt at all about human birth -- who can a poet call to witness this, with but a single tongue for such people?

Thus, in the Bhaktachintamani composed by Nishkulanand Muni, disciple of Shri Sahajanand Swami, propagator of the glorious Ekantik Dharma, the chapter naming the devotees of the Saubhir region, the one hundred and seventeenth chapter, is concluded.
