Brahma said: Thus, let the sages who are engaged in yoga chant this. The omnipresent Lord spoke this in response to their praise.

The Supreme Lord said: These two, Jaya and Vijaya, are my attendants. They have been cursed to become enemies of mine, which has led to their great downfall.

Whoever is supported by you, O Lord, is indeed protected by the sages. They are approved by us, the sages, and by the divine beings.

I will bestow upon you my grace, for Brahman is indeed my supreme deity. I consider that which is realized in meditation as the essence of the supreme being.

The world does not accept the names of those who are ungrateful. Such ungratefulness destroys their fame, just as a disease destroys the body.

In whom the nectar-like glory, upon being heard, immediately purifies the world from the sins of the lowest beings. I am that which destroys the unfavorable actions of those who seek your holy fame.

By serving whose lotus feet, one immediately attains purity and is freed from all impurities. Even prosperity does not abandon me, for her glance carries the essence of all rules.

I do not reside in the offerings made by the yajaman, nor in the clarified butter that is poured into the fire. What is offered by a satisfied Brahmin is what I accept, through his own actions.

Those whom I bear, endowed with the undivided glory of the Supreme, are adorned with pure crowns. Who can bear the weight of their worth, for they immediately purify the worlds along with the moon?

Those who, with a discriminating mind, see my body as a source of nourishment for the pure-hearted, will witness the wrath of the vultures, who, angered, will devour the sinful.

Those Brahmins who, with devotion, worship me with their intellect, their lotus-like faces smiling with nectar, enlighten me as if I am their own son.

Thus, having attained the grace of my husband, who is unblemished, I shall soon reach your abode, having taken the path that transcends your transgressions.

Brahma said: Now, the goddess of the sage's lineage, Saraswati, who is not satisfied by the taste of the minds afflicted by anger, is to be revered.

While listening to the story of the virtuous one, they, who are heavy with the weight of meaning, do not understand what is intended.

The learned sages, with folded hands and joyful faces, spoke: 'O great one, you have begun this supreme yoga.'

The sages said: 'O Lord, we do not know what you, the divine one, desire. If you have bestowed your grace upon us, we are grateful.'

O Lord, the supreme deity of the Brahmanas, you are indeed the supreme being among the gods of the Brahmins.

O Lord, the eternal dharma is protected by your bodies. Your understanding is that the ultimate truth of dharma is unchanging.

Indeed, those who are liberated from death through your grace easily cross over. O yogi, will you not bestow grace upon those who are devoted?

He who is adorned with the wealth of divine glories, and who is worshipped by those seeking wealth with their own heads, like the Lord of Madhu, may he grant us the desire for the abode of the new Tulasi at his feet.

He who is followed by those of distinguished character, and who is not disregarded in the discussions of the supreme devotee, you, O Brahmin, are purified by the dust of the feet of the virtuous Lakshmi, what more can be said about you, O devotee of the Lord?

O Lord, the essence of righteousness, this entire world, both moving and non-moving, is sustained by your three forms. Surely, the modes of passion and ignorance affect those who are not endowed with your grace.

If you are not a Brahmin of the highest lineage, then the protector, the bull, with his good conduct, will not be able to protect you. Thus, the path of your Lord will not be followed, as it is the proof of the great bull.

That which is not desired by you, may it be fulfilled by the essence of existence; may the strength of your own powers protect the people. The glory of the three rulers of the world is indeed the source of your joy.

Whom the Lord of the forest, the master of the mind, creates a livelihood for, may that one be protected from sin, and let us not be afflicted by the punishment of the innocent.

The Supreme Lord said: These two, having attained the path of the demigods, are immediately bound by the yoga of intense endeavor. O Brahmins, the curse that is the cause of this, shall soon come to you.

Brahma said: Then the sages, seeing the source of joy for the eyes, the abode of Vaikuntha, the self-luminous one, became absorbed in contemplation.

Having circumambulated the Lord and bowing down, they returned, rejoicing and praising the divine wealth of the Vaishnavas.

The Lord said: Do not be afraid, for I am capable of destroying even the powerful Brahman; yet, my mind does not desire to do so.

This was previously stated when Ramaa, in anger, entered the door that was previously closed to me.

By my determination, having crossed the illusion of Brahman, let this be returned to me again in due time with a little effort.

The Lord, who is the best among the sages, adorned with the celestial aircraft, entered his own abode, enriched by the supreme Lakshmi.

But those two, the best among the sages, having been defeated by the curse of Brahma, lost their glory and became devoid of joy.

Then, from the abode of Vaikuntha, a great uproar arose as they fell down.

Indeed, at this time, the foremost attendants of Hari have entered the womb of Diti, who is the wife of Kashyapa, endowed with great brilliance.

The divine essence of these two Asuras, indeed, is being drawn by the power of Yama. This energy is now being absorbed by the Lord.

He who is the original cause of the creation and dissolution of the universe, even for the great yogis, is indeed a difficult illusion. He will provide us with well-being, O Lord of the three worlds, what is the significance of this for us?
