Shloka 64
तथैव विष्णुर्भगवान् सनातन: स चात्र देव: परिकीर्त्यते यतः । ततः स कामाल्लॉभते सुखी नरो महामुनेस्तस्य वचोडर्चितं यथा
tathaiva viṣṇur bhagavān sanātanaḥ sa cātra devaḥ parikīrtyate yataḥ | tataḥ sa kāmāl lobhate sukhī naro mahāmunes tasya vaco'rcitaṃ yathā ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「同じくここでは、永遠なる主ヴィシュヌもまた神なるものとして讃えられている。ゆえに、これを学び誦する者は歓びを得て、心に望む目的を成就する。これこそが、大聖仙ヴィヤーサの、尊ばれ崇敬される言葉の、聖なる威力である。」
