Brahma, Sarva, the Kumara, and the sages with Bhrgu at their head, king, and the fathers, and all beings, and the perfected ones, and those who travel in the sky-chariots, singing that very great deed of Visnu's, the most wonderful of all, went to their own seats; and they spoke Aditi's praise. All this I have told you, delight of your line: the doing of the wide-strider, which looses those who hear it from what they have done wrong. The mortal who would sing out the far shore of the greatness of him whose strides are wide has counted the specks of dust on the earth. What does a mortal come to, being born or already born? So the sage who saw the verse said of that Person.

Whoever hears this account of what Hari, god of gods, whose deeds are wonderful, did in his descent, goes to the highest way. When a rite is being performed, for the gods, for the fathers, or for men, wherever this is told out, they know that to be the good done in it.
