This narrative is sacred. It dispels the harassment from enemies. It is conducive to the attainment of heaven, fame and longevity. It confers worldly pleasures and salvation to the good.
य इदं शृणुयाद्भक्त्या श्रावयेद्वै समाहितः ।। स भुक्त्वा सकलान्कामानन्ते मोक्ष मवाप्नुयात् ।। तथा पठिति यो हीदं पाठयेत्सुधियो नरान् ।।३९।।
He who listens to this with devotion and narrates this with purity enjoys all pleasures here and attains salvation hereafter. So also is the case with him who reads or teaches this to intelligent men.
