य एतं परमं गुह्यम् इतिहासमघापहम् ।
शृणुयाच्छ्रद्धया युक्तो यश्च भक्त्यानुकीर्तयेत् । न वै स नरकं याति नेक्षितो यमकिङ्करैः । यद्यप्यमङ्गलो मर्त्यो विष्णुलोके महीयते ॥ ४८ ॥ ya etam paramam guhyam
itihasam aghapaham
srnuyac chraddhaya yukto
yas ca bhaktyanukirtayet
na vai sa narakam yati
neksito yama-kiṅkaraih
yadyapy amaṅgalo martyo
visnu-loke mahiyate
yah-anyone who; etam-this; paramam-very; guhyam-confidential; itihasam-historical narration; agha-apaham-which frees one from all reactions to sins; srnuyat-hears; sraddhaya-with faith; yuktah-endowed; yah-one who; ca-also; bhaktya-with great devotion; anukirtayet-repeats; na-not; vai-indeed; sah-such a person; narakam-to hell; yati-goes; na-not; iksitah-is observed; yama-kiṅkaraih-by the order carriers of Yamaraja; yadyapi-although; amaṅgalah-inauspicious; martyah-a living entity with a material body; visnu-loke-in the spiritual world; mahiyate-is welcomed and respectfully received.
Because this very confidential historical narration has the potency to vanquish all sinful reactions, one who hears or describes it with faith and devotion is no longer doomed to hellish life, regardless of his having a material body and regardless of how sinful he may have been. Indeed, the Yamadutas, who carry out the orders of Yamaraja, do not approach him even to see him. After giving up his body, he returns home, back to Godhead, where he is very respectfully received and worshiped.
