Hymn to Varāha and Pṛthivī’s Inquiry
Prelude to the Sanatkumāra Dialogue
य इदं पठते स्तोत्रं केशवस्य दृढव्रतः ॥ व्याधितो मुच्यते रोगाद्बद्धो मुच्येत बन्धनात् ॥
ya idaṃ paṭhate stotraṃ keśavasya dṛḍhavrataḥ || vyādhito mucyate rogād baddho mucyeta bandhanāt ||
Ktokolwiek, stały w przestrzeganiu, recytuje ten hymn Keśavy, jeśli dotknięty chorobą, zostaje uwolniony od choroby; jeśli związany, może zostać uwolniony z niewoli.
