abhyarcatī svalakam unnasam īkṣya vaktram % uccheṣitaṃ bhagavatety amatāṅga yac-chrīḥ //

3.15.22.p2
yan na vrajanty agha-bhido racanānuvādāc $ chṛṇvanti ye 'nya-viṣayāḥ kukathā mati-ghnīḥ &
They do not reach that realm who, instead of reciting and hearing tales of the Destroyer of sin, / listen to vile tales on other subjects that destroy the intellect—
23. To that Vishnu-loka do not go those who listen to bad stories which spoil the mind, because they concern subjects other than the deeds (creation, etc.) of Hari who shatters the sin of His devotees,—the bad stories, which, when heard by unfortunate men, deprive them of all merit and, alas! throw them into hells of darkness where no relief is possible.
3.15.22.p3
yan na vrajanty agha-bhido racanānuvādāc $ chṛṇvanti ye 'nya-viṣayāḥ kukathā mati-ghnīḥ &
They do not reach that realm who, instead of reciting and hearing tales of the Destroyer of sin, / listen to vile tales on other subjects that destroy the intellect—
