Sūta said: The excellent Devas performed penance for twelve years and became free from bondage. They went back with Brahmā and Viṣṇu. Thus everything that had been heard from Brahmā has been mentioned to you. It had been heard by Sanat and by Vyāsa from him. The man who remains pure and hears this or narrates this to the brahmins attains a different body and is liberated from the bondage of Paśus.
