Shloka 363
कीर्तितान् कीर्तयिष्यामि सर्वपापप्रमोचनान् । देवताओंके अनन्तर समस्त पापोंसे मुक्त करनेवाले तपस्यामें बढ़े-चढ़े तपःसिद्ध ब्रह्मर्षियोंके प्र्यात नाम बतलाता हूँ
Bhīṣma uvāca — kīrtitān kīrtayiṣyāmi sarva-pāpa-pramocanān | devatābhyaḥ anantaram samasta-pāpebhyo mukta-karaṇe tapasyāṁ baḍhe-caḍhe tapaḥ-siddhān brahmarṣīṇāṁ priyān nāmāni kathayāmi ||
Bhishma berkata: “Kini akan kuwartakan kembali nama-nama yang telah termasyhur—nama-nama yang membebaskan dari segala dosa. Sesudah para dewa, akan kusebutkan nama-nama mulia para Brahmarishi, para resi agung yang sempurna oleh tapa, unggul dalam tapas, dan yang melepaskan dari seluruh dosa.”
