'Bhāva' - refers to the internally present mind. 'Bhāvitatva' means being deeply impressed. 'sadā tadbhāvabhāvitaḥ' i.e. always absorbed in that state - is the means to remembrance at the ultimate moment.
'स्मरन् त्यजति' इति भिन्नकालीनत्वेऽपि अविरोधः इति मन्दमतेः शङ्का मा भूत् इति 'अन्ते' इति विशेषणम्। सुमतेः नैव शङ्कावकाशः। स्मरन् त्यजतीति एककालीनत्वप्रतीतेः। दुर्मतेः दुःखात् न स्मरन् त्यजति इति शङ्का।
'smaran tyajati' iti bhinnakālīnatve'pi avirodhaḥ iti mandamateḥ śaṅkā mā bhūt iti 'ante' iti viśeṣaṇam। sumateḥ naiva śaṅkāvakāśaḥ। smaran tyajatīti ekakālīnatvapratīteḥ। durmateḥ duḥkhāt na smaran tyajati iti śaṅkā।
['स्मरन् (smaran) - remembering; त्यजति' (tyajati) - abandons; इति (iti) - thus; भिन्नकालीनत्वेऽपि (bhinnakālīnatve'pi) - even if taken as occurring at different times; अविरोधः (avirodhaḥ) - there is no contradiction; इति (iti) - thus; मन्दमतेः (mandamateḥ) - for a dull-minded person; शङ्का (śaṅkā) - doubt; मा (mā) - not; भूत् (bhūt) - arise; इति (iti) - thus; 'अन्ते' (ante) - "at the end"; इति (iti) - thus; विशेषणम् (viśeṣaṇam) - is a qualifier; सुमतेः (sumateḥ) - for an intelligent person; न (na) - not; एव (eva) - indeed; शङ्कावकाशः (śaṅkāvakāśaḥ) - any room for doubt; स्मरन् (smaran) - remembering; त्यजति (tyajati) - abandons; इति (iti) - thus; एककालीनत्वप्रतीतेः (ekakālīnatvapratīteḥ) - because of the perception of simultaneity; दुर्मतेः (durmateḥ) - for a person of poor understanding; दुःखात् (duḥkhāt) - due to suffering; न (na) - not; स्मरन् (smaran) - remembering; त्यजति (tyajati) - abandons; इति (iti) - thus; शङ्का (śaṅkā) - doubt;]
For one of dull intellect, there might be a doubt regarding the simultaneity of 'remembering' and 'abandoning'—that they occur at different times. However, the word 'ante' (at the end) is used as an adjective to remove such doubt, ensuring no contradiction. For an intelligent person, there is no room for doubt because the simultaneity of remembering and abandoning is naturally understood. But for one of poor understanding, the doubt arises that because of suffering, one might not be able to remember while abandoning the body.
