Epilogue
At the end of the film, prior to the credits, is an explanation of the name change, attributing it to Prince's desire to be "reborn" and start a perfect life:
Upon the seventh day of the sixth month
Nineteen hundred and ninety-three
Marking the beginning and ending of cycles of creation
Prince, reaching the balance of thirty-five years,
Put into practice the precepts of perfection:
Voicing bliss through the freedom of being one's self
Incarnating the New Power Generation into
The close of the six periods of involution giving
Birth upon himself to regenerate his name as (the Love Symbol)
For in the dawn, all will require no speakable name
To differentiate the ineffible one that shall remain.
