3.112

prayato bhava rājendra śṛṇuṣvaikamanās tataḥ |
nāśuddhe nāśucau vāpi nāśiṣyāya kathaṃcana ||
varṇayeyam ahaṃ rājan kṛtajñāya hitāya ca |
svargyaṃ yaśasyam āyuṣyaṃ puṇyaṃ vedena saṃmitam |
bhūtasargam imaṃ samyag jānato bharatarṣabha
marutāṃ ca śubhaṃ janma śṛṇvataḥ paṭhato 'pi vā |
nāvṛttibhayam astīha paralokabhayaṃ kutaḥ //

Be attentive, O king of kings, and listen with a one-pointed mind.
Not to the impure, nor to the unpurified, nor ever to a non-disciple
should I describe this, O king, [but] to one who is grateful and benevolent.
For one who knows properly this creation of beings, which grants heaven, renown, and long life, sacred and equal to the Veda,
and who hears or recites the auspicious birth of the Maruts, O bull of the Bharatas,
there is no fear of returning [to rebirth] here; whence fear of the other world?
