बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते ।वासुदेवः सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभः ॥

bahūnāṃ janmanām ante jñānavān māṃ prapadyate |vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ ||

बहूनाम् जन्मनाम् · bahūnām janmanām
of many births
अन्ते · ante
at the end
प्रपद्यते · prapadyate
takes refuge
वासुदेवः सर्वम् · vāsudevaḥ sarvam
Vasudeva is all
सुदुर्लभः · sudurlabhaḥ
very hard to find

At the end of many births, the knowing one takes refuge in me: 'Vasudeva is all.' Such a great soul is very hard to find.

Original plain-language translation

IN SHORT After many lessons, you learn love holds everything — and that changes you.

Many lives mature into a single universal confession of Vasudeva as all. Breadth and devotion fuse at last. Such wholeness of sight is praised as rarest. Like after years of tasting dishes everywhere, finding every flavour comes from the same kitchen.
