ਅਕਰੂਰ ਨੇ ਸਤ੍ਤਵ ਦਾ ਆਸਰਾ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਗਦਗਦ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਾਲ ਸਤੁਤੀ ਕੀਤੀ। ਮੱਥਾ ਧਰਤੀ ਤੇ ਟੇਕ ਕੇ ਸਾਵਧਾਨੀ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਣਾਮ ਕਰਕੇ, ਹੱਥ ਜੋੜ ਕੇ, ਹੌਲੀ ਹੌਲੀ ਇਕਾਗ੍ਰਤਾ ਨਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਾਰਥਨਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕੀਤੀ।
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Thirty-ninth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Akrūra’s Vision.”
