abhyarcayanpitṝndevānpaṭhañjuhvanbaliṃ dadat | jvalannagniṃ smaredyo māṃ sa yāti paramāṃ gatim

Honouring the ancestors and the gods, reciting, offering oblations and the bali offering, tending the blazing fire, whoever remembers me goes to the supreme goal.

Note on the text: Corrected यलिं → बलिं (misprint in Wikisource; य for ब; 'bali offering', CE baliṃ). Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 141-142 (12.202.033d@017B_0141-0142) of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 17B, printed after 12.202.33).

यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि शरीरिणाम् । यज्ञं दानं तपस्तस्मात्कुर्यादाशीर्विवर्जितः ॥

yajño dānaṃ tapaścaiva pāvanāni śarīriṇām | yajñaṃ dānaṃ tapastasmātkuryādāśīrvivarjitaḥ

tasmātpradeyaṃ sādhubhyo janmabandhabhayāpaham | evaṃ dattvā naraśreṣṭha śreyo vīryaṃ ca vindati

Therefore that which destroys the fear of birth and bondage should be given to the good. Giving thus, best of men, one wins well-being and strength.

imāṃ rahasyāṃ paramāmanusmṛtim | adhītya buddhiṃ labhate ca naiṣṭhikīm | vihāya duḥkhānyavamucya saṅkaṭāt | sa vītarāgo vigatajvaraḥ sukhī

Having studied this supreme secret remembrance, one gains a steadfast understanding; casting off sorrows and freed from distress, he becomes free of passion, free of fever, and happy.

Note on the text: Repaired the line division: Wikisource breaks the lines inside sandhi (परमामनुस्मृति / मधीत्य and सङ्कटा / त्स), so the final म् of अनुस्मृतिम् and the final त् of सङ्कटात् were printed at the start of the next line; restored the word forms अनुस्मृतिम् / अधीत्य and सङ्कटात् / स (as in the CE lines 168-171). No words added or dropped. Not in the critical edition's constituted text: lines 168-171 (12.202.033d@017B_0168-0171) of the CE's inline Appendix I passage (App. I No. 17B, printed after 12.202.33).
