Pulastya said: “This is a secret teaching belonging to the great seers, a means that releases one from all sins. Having studied and recited it in the assembly of the twice-born, a person becomes purified and attains the heavenly world.”
पुलस्त्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
A revered, guarded teaching—identified in context as a sacred māhātmya—purifies moral impurity: learning and ritually reciting it in a proper religious setting is presented as a means to remove sin and gain heavenly attainment.
Pulastya concludes or emphasizes the efficacy of the sacred account he has been teaching: he characterizes it as a rishi-secret that destroys sin, and states the fruit (phala) of studying and reciting it among the twice-born—purity and attainment of Svarga.
