1Salutation to Dharma, the great; salutation to Krsna the ordainer. Having bowed to the brahmins, I shall speak the dharma that does not pass away. 2This has been told to you, brahmins: the astonishing course of Visnu's doings, which you asked me for, and which is fit for men to hear. 3Here Hari himself is praised aloud, who takes away every sin: Narayana, lord of the senses, the Bhagavan, lord of the Satvatas. 4Here the highest Brahman is told, the secret one, the world's rising and its passing; and knowledge, and the account of it, joined with full understanding. 5The yoga of devotion is set out, and the detachment that rests on it; and the account of Pariksit, and the account of Narada.
