नारायणीयमाख्यानम् (Nārāyaṇīyam Ākhyānam) — Nārada’s Return and Hymnic Consolidation
इतिहासमिमं पुण्यं मोक्षधर्मोपसंहितम् । धारयेद् यः शमपर: स गच्छेत् परमां गतिम्,जो पुरुष मोक्षधर्मसे युक्त इस परम पवित्र इतिहासको सुनकर या पढ़कर अपने हृदयमें धारण करेगा, वह शान्तिपरायण हो परमगति (मोक्ष) को प्राप्त होगा
itihāsam imaṁ puṇyaṁ mokṣadharmopasaṁhitam | dhārayed yaḥ śamaparaḥ sa gacchet paramāṁ gatim ||
قال بهيشما: من كان مواظبًا على سكينة الباطن، فاستمع إلى هذا الخبر المقدّس أو درسه، وهو مؤسَّس على دارما التحرّر، ثم أثبته في قلبه تثبيتًا، بلغ الغاية العظمى—حالة الانعتاق العليا، أي الموكشا.
