35
yo devair arthito daityān avadhid yudhi durjayaḥ muhūrtam āyur jñātvaitya sva-puraṁ sandadhe manaḥ
yaḥ—King Khaṭvānga who; devaiḥ—by the demigods; arthitaḥ—being requested; daityān—the demons; avadhīt—killed; yudhi—in a fight; durjayaḥ—very fierce; muhūrtam—for a second only; āyuḥ—duration of life; jñātvā—knowing; etya—approached; sva-puram—his own abode; sandadhe—fixed; manaḥ—the mind.
TRANSLATION
King Khaṭvānga was unconquerable in any fight. Requested by the demigods to join them in fighting the demons, he won victory, and the demigods, being very pleased, wanted to give him a benediction. The King inquired from them about the duration of his life and was informed that he had only one moment more. Thus he immediately left his palace and went to his own residence, where he engaged his mind fully on the lotus feet of the Lord.
PURPORT
The example of Mahārāja Khaṭvānga in performing devotional service is brilliant. Mahārāja Khaṭvānga engaged himself for only a moment in devotional service to the Lord, but he was promoted back to Godhead. Therefore, if one practices devotional service from the beginning of his life, surely he will return home, back to Godhead, without a doubt ( asaṁśaya ).
In  Bhagavad-gītā  the word  asaṁśaya  is used to describe the devotee. There the Lord Himself gives this instruction:
mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu
“Now hear, O son of Pṛthā [Arjuna], how by practicing  yoga  in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt.” (Bg. 7.1)
