Dakṣa’s Sacrifice Restored: Śiva’s Mercy and Nārāyaṇa’s Appearance
इदं पवित्रं परमीशचेष्टितं यशस्यमायुष्यमघौघमर्षणम् । यो नित्यदाकर्ण्य नरोऽनुकीर्तयेद् धुनोत्यघं कौरव भक्तिभावत: ॥ ६१ ॥

这是至上主的神圣行迹，极其清净，增益名声与寿命，并能消除罪业之洪流。噢，俱卢之子，若有人日日聆听并以信心与奉爱再度传颂，必能涤尽一切污染。
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Canto, Seventh Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Sacrifice Performed by Dakṣa.”
