purātanasya kalpasya purāṇāni vidurbudhāḥ
dhanyaṃ yaśasyamāyuṣyaṃ purāṇānāmanukramam
yaḥ paṭhecchṛṇuyādvāpi sa yāti paramāṃ gatim //

The learned know of the Purâṇas of the ancient Kalpa. The recitation of this list of the Purâṇas is conducive to prosperity, fame and long life. He who reads or listens to it, gets wealth, reputation, long life and emancipation.—72. This list is the most sacred. It is the giver of fame and the destroyer of sins. It is very dear to the pitṛis, and is prized by the Devas as a nectar. It is external and destroyer of sin of all men.—73.
