TRANSLATION
The subject of the departure of the sons of Pandu for the ultimate goal of life, back to Godhead, is fully auspicious and is perfectly pure. Therefore anyone who hears this narration with devotional faith certainly gains devotional service of the Lord, the highest perfection of life.
Srimad-Bhagavatam is a narration about the Personality of Godhead and of the devotees of the Lord like the Pandavas and others. The narration of the Personality of Godhead and His devotees is absolute in itself, and thus to hear it with a devotional attitude is to associate with the Lord and constant companions of the Lord. By the hearing process of Srimad-Bhagavatam one can attain the highest perfection of life, namely going back home, back to Godhead, without failure.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fifteenth Chapter, First Canto, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled "The Pandavas Retire Timely."
