因此，凡求自身吉祥者——尤其清净的二次生者，尤以毗湿奴派婆罗门为最——应于清晨起身离榻，如实无偏地诵扬此圣传，以息除恶梦等诸般烦恼。
Every verse in the Vedic literature, especially in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Bhagavad-gītā, is a Vedic mantra. Here the words yathānukīrtayanti are used to recommend that this literature be presented as it is. Unscrupulous persons, however, deviate from the actual narration and interpret the text in their own way with grammatical jugglery. Such deviations are to be avoided. This is a Vedic injunction supported by Śukadeva Gosvāmī, one of the mahājanas, or authorities. He says, yathānukīrtayanti: one should recite the mantra as it is, without deviation, for then one will be eligible to rise to the platform of all good fortune. Śukadeva Gosvāmī especially recommends that those who are brāhmaṇas ( śucayaḥ ) recite all these mantras after rising from bed in the morning.
