Verse 8

⁸By what divisions of what is real the lord over the worlds shaped the worlds and what is not the worlds and the guardians of the worlds; and in which the division of every class of living things is fixed and made out. ⁹And by what Narayana, maker of all, whose womb is himself, laid down among creatures the divisions of self and work and form and name: describe this too to us, best of brahmins. ¹⁰Revered one, I have heard again and again from Vyasa's own mouth the observances of the high and the low; and of those, which bring only a small happiness, we have had our fill, apart from the flood of nectar that is talk of Krsna.

¹¹Who could have his fill of the naming of him whose feet are a ford, praised by the wise in your sessions, a name that once it has gone down a man's ear cuts off the love of home that gives him birth again? ¹²The sage Krsna, your friend too, wanting to speak the qualities of the Bhagavan, told the Bharata; and there men's minds, caught by retellings of the pleasures of the village, were taken into the story of Hari.
