"And honor me, devoted, revering [You]; do not wound me with the harmful; the knower who sees You [as] one's own self, non-dual with the soul, thus attains the radiant [pure] Brahman. I have praised You, desiring Your favor, seeking [You] together with the bull [Nandi], O best of gods; grant the hard-to-attain boons that I desire; praised, do not reject [do not push away] me." To him, the boons — the one inconceivable in soul, Nilakantha [the blue-throated], bearer of the Pinaka — to the worthy one, foremost of the gods, granted, praised by the sage.

The crown of the hymn is a plea for devotion: "honor me, who reveres You," for the knower who sees his own self as non-dual with the Highest attains pure Brahman. It is notable that the fruit of knowing God is not an abstract identity but a living reciprocity of love between the worshipper and the Worshipped. The verse teaches that the highest goal and the highest means are both devotion; and one who knows his true self in unbroken connection with the Lord attains not a cold merging but a radiant fullness born of love.
