Renowned by the name Vedaśarman, expert in all the Vedas, / you will have the continuous, auspicious memory of your past births there.
Thus bound to remembrance, having abandoned all desires, auspicious, / you will perform all the religious duties enjoined in Vaiśākha, dear to Hari.
Free from dualities, without longing, unattached, devoted to the guru, having conquered the senses, / always conversing on the narratives of Viṣṇu, you will be in that birth.
Then, having attained perfection and all bonds being shattered, / you will reach the supreme abode, difficult to attain even through yogas.
Do not fear, my son; good fortune will be yours through my grace. / Out of jest, out of fear, likewise out of anger, malice, or even desire,
or out of affection, having uttered once the name of Viṣṇu which removes sins, / even the most sinful go to the disease-free abode of Viṣṇu.
How much more then, O best of brahmins, do they go who, endowed with faith, / with anger subdued and senses mastered, and full of compassion, hear the sacred narrative!
Some, through devotion alone, intent solely on the discourse of his stories, / though devoid of all other duties, go to the supreme foot of Viṣṇu.
Some worship Viṣṇu through hatred and the like, or through devotion; / they too go to the supreme abode, just like Pūtanā who took away his life.
Constant association with the great and speech dedicated to taking refuge in him / must be maintained by those desiring liberation; this is the rule enjoined by the scriptures.
That utterance of words destroys the sins of the people, in which, though each verse may be poorly composed, / the names of the Infinite One, marked by his glory, are heard, sung, and recited by the virtuous.
Which compassionate one would one take refuge in, other than the all-pervading Lord, who desires neither strenuous service, / nor immense wealth, nor beauty and youth, but when remembered even once, leads to the radiant abode?
Go to him alone for refuge, the unblemished Nārāyaṇa, / who is affectionate to his devotees, unmanifest, accessible to the intellect, an ocean of compassion.
Perform all these religious duties declared in Vaiśākha, O highly intelligent one; / pleased thereby, the Lord of the Universe will bestow happiness upon you.'
Having spoken thus, he fell silent, and seeing the hunter, he was greatly amazed; / that divine person again spoke to that foremost of sages:
