Vasudeva and Devakī Glorify Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma; The Recovery of Devakī’s Six Sons from Sutala
श्रीसूत उवाच य इदमनुशृणोति श्रावयेद् वा मुरारे- श्चरितममृतकीर्तेर्वर्णितं व्यासपुत्रै: । जगदघभिदलं तद्भक्तसत्कर्णपूरं भगवति कृतचित्तो याति तत्क्षेमधाम ॥ ५९ ॥
śrī-sūta uvāca ya idam anuśṛṇoti śrāvayed vā murāreś caritam amṛta-kīrter varṇitaṁ vyāsa-putraiḥ jagad-agha-bhid alaṁ tad-bhakta-sat-karṇa-pūraṁ bhagavati kṛta-citto yāti tat-kṣema-dhāma
室利·苏塔说道：这由毗耶娑之子所叙述、名声如甘露般不朽的穆拉里之戏行，能摧破世间罪垢，亦为奉爱者之耳的超越饰宝；凡恭敬聆听或宣说者，必能专心于至上主（Bhagavān），而抵达吉祥安稳的神圣国度。
According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī, hearing the wonderful events of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s life destroys sins in a manner that is perfect ( alam ) because it is easy. Anyone can easily participate in this hearing, and those who become devoted to Kṛṣṇa always enjoy wearing on their ears the ornaments of topics concerning Him. Not only those who were present at the time of their occurrence, but also Śukadeva Gosvāmī, Sūta Gosvāmī, all who have heard since and everyone in the universe who will hear in the future — all are blessed by the continuous recital of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental glories.
