Whoever listens to the history of Prahláda is immediately cleansed from his sins: the iniquities that he commits, by night or by day, shall be expiated by once hearing, or once reading, the history of Prahláda. The perusal of this history on the day of full moon, of new moon, or on the eighth or twelfth day of the lunation, shall yield fruit equal to the donation of a cow. As Vishńu protected Prahláda in all the calamities to which he was exposed, so shall the deity protect him who listens constantly to the tale. > — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition - [Previous: 1.20.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.20.34) - [Next: 1.20.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.20.36) - [Up: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.20) ## Translations (1) - [The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu~en-wilson.1.20.3) — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Viṣṇupurāṇa (vulgate)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu*vulgate.1.20.35) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.20.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.1.20.35) · Pramāṇa
