Mantra 12
Sukta 6
इतिहासस्य च वै स पुराणस्य च गाथानां च नाराशंसीनां च प्रियं धाम भवति य एवं वेद
itihāsásya ca váí sá purāṇásya ca gā́thānāṃ ca nārāśaṃsī́nāṃ ca priyáṃ dhā́ma bhávati yá eváṃ véda
Verily he who thus knoweth becometh a dear abode—a beloved station—of Itihāsa and of Purāṇa, and of the Gāthās, and of the Nārāśaṃsī praises.
जो ऐसा जानता है, वह निश्चय ही इतिहासन और पुराण, तथा गाथाओं और नाराशंसी स्तुतियों का प्रिय धाम—प्रिय आश्रय-स्थान—हो जाता है।
