Translation

The sages, by conquering infatuation, attain that Supreme state of Vishnu. (Hence) give up such infatuation for the body, wife and children – which is the worst mortality.

Annotation

1) The word ‘muni’ refers to the person who contemplates on Brahman. 2) The state of Vishnu does not refer to a place. It is to be understood like the expression “Rahu’s head”. Rahu, seen in the puranic story, is not different from his head. Similarly, Vishnu’s place means the state of awareness of Atman as not different from the all–pervading Brahman, which is otherwise called as Vishnu (Jagadguru). Vishnu, in this context, refers to the Supreme Reality and not to a personal deity.
