FAQs
This verse states that simply hearing this profound teaching has purifying power, destroying Kali-yuga’s moral and spiritual impurities and freeing the listener from sins.
Parāśara frames the instruction itself as 'kalikalmaṣanāśanam'—a remedy for Kali’s defilements—emphasizing that attentive listening to the Purana functions as a direct means of cleansing.
Although Vishnu is not named in this single verse, the claim of sin-destruction rests on the Purana’s Vishnu-centered revelation—affirming Vishnu’s sovereignty as the ultimate purifier and refuge, especially in Kali-yuga.
