आख्यानं तद इदम अनुत्तमं महार्थं; विन्यस्तं महद इह पर्व संग्रहेण शरुत्वादौ भवति नृणां सुखावगाहं; विस्तीर्णं लवणजलं यथा पलवेन ।। १-२-२४३ ।।

sanskrit

' A Brahmana, whatever sins he may commit during the day through his senses, is freed from them all by reading the Bharata in the evening. Whatever sins he may commit also in the night by deeds, words, or mind, he is freed from them all by reading Bharata in the first twilight (morning). He that giveth a hundred kine with horns mounted with gold to a Brahmana well-posted up in the Vedas and all branches of learning, and he that daily listeneth to the sacred narrations of the Bharata, acquireth equal merit. As the wide ocean is easily passable by men having ships, so is this extensive history of great excellence and deep import with the help of this chapter called Parva sangraha. ' ।। 1-2-243 ।।
