Devanagari script

पुरार्जितानि पापानि तस्य नश्यन्त्यसंशयम् । पुराणे वर्तमानेऽपि पापपाशेन यन्त्रितः । आदरेणान्यगाथासु सक्तबुद्धिः पतत्यधः ॥ ६२ ॥

Transliteration

purārjitāni pāpāni tasya naśyantyasaṃśayam | purāṇe vartamāne'pi pāpapāśena yantritaḥ | ādareṇānyagāthāsu saktabuddhiḥ patatyadhaḥ || 62 ||

Translation

その者の過去に積んだ罪は、疑いなく滅び去る。だがプラーナが誦されている最中でさえ、罪の縄に縛られ、誤った敬意によって心を他の世俗の歌や物語に執着させるなら、彼は下へと堕ちる。

FAQs

It teaches that sincere engagement with Purāṇic recitation has the power to dissolve previously accumulated sin, but spiritual fruit is obstructed when the mind remains bound to sinful habits and distraction.

Bhakti here is shown as attentive śravaṇa (devout listening). Turning away from sacred hearing toward worldly entertainment reflects misplaced devotion and leads to spiritual decline.

A practical discipline of śravaṇa is emphasized—mental focus and restraint (a dharmic observance) during sacred recitation; no specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is explicitly taught in this verse.
