श्रीभगवान् बोले--मृत्युको तो तुम पहले ही जीत चुके हो, अब चिरकालिक आयु भी तुम्हें प्राप्त हुई। साथ प्राप्त हो। महाभाग! यह तीर्थ आजसे तुम्हारे ही नामसे विख्यात होगा; अब पुनः तुम क्षीरसमुद्रमें योगनिद्राका आश्रय लेकर सोये हुए मेरा दर्शन पाओगे

The moon similarly cannot be absolved from the scare i.e. it cannot illumine like the sun. However, the exclusive devotee of lord Visnu, attains to honour and prestige in spite of being dirty in body. On going over the essence of the world it is only ascertained that no achievement can be obtained but for the worship of the god. You therefore, are advised to bring in memory at all moments, the feet of god for emancipation as these feet had graced the divine teacher (Devaguru) Jupiter (Brhaspati).
