Verse 60

⁵⁶You, foremost of the twice-born, how greatly favoured you are: you have brought into your own self and worship without a break Narayana, the god who has no god above him, the Lord, who has become the self of all. ⁵⁷And I too have been made to remember the truth of the self, which I heard long ago from the mouth of the highest sage, when King Pariksit sat down to die and the great sages in that assembly were listening. ⁵⁸This has been told to you, brahmins: the greatness of Vasudeva, whose wide works are to be told, which destroys everything ill. ⁵⁹Whoever has this recited always, for a watch of the day or for a moment, with no other thought; and whoever hears it through with trust: he makes his very self clean.

⁶⁰One who hears it on the twelfth day, or on the eleventh, becomes long of life. One who reads it fasting and made ready becomes free of any fall.
