So let him forgive it, that Bhagavan, the Person of old, Narayana, for what was ill done to him by us his own men. In one so great, forgiveness goes to his own who do not know and who stand with their palms joined. Salutation to the Person, to the vast one. So, son of Kuru, know the singing together of Visnu, which is auspicious for the world, to be the one sure undoing of sins, however great they are. For those who hear and utter Hari's unbounded powers again and again, the self is made clean by a devotion well born, as it is not by vows and the rest. One who licks the honey of Krsna's lotus feet does not take pleasure again in the strands of maya he has let go, which carry only trouble. But another, struck by desire, would work to wipe off his own dust by action, and from that very thing the dust would come again.

So Yama's servants, remembering the Bhagavan's greatness as their own master told it, their minds astonished, from that time on, king, no longer suspect anyone who has taken refuge in the Unfallen, and are afraid even to look at them. This secret old story the revered one born of the jar told, sitting on Malaya and worshipping Hari.
