Sūta said: O brahmins, he who reads this chapter on the exploits of the destroyer of Tripuras, originally composed by Brahmā formerly or he who narrates this devotedly to the brahmins at the time of Śrāddha or during the rites of Devas goes to the world of Brahmā. O excellent brahmins, the individual soul is liberated from all kinds of sins mental, physical or verbal. He is liberated from the principal as well as subsidiary sins, gross, subtle or subtlest on hearing this splendid chapter. His enemies will perish and he will be victorious in battle. He will never be harassed by any sickness. Adversities will not afflict him. He shall attain wealth, longevity, renown, learning and incomparable prowess.
