In this way killing him, Balram completed the task assigned to him by the Brahmins.2401.
In this way, Shukdev related the bravery of Balram to the king
Whosoever has heard this story from the mouth of a Brahmin, he obtained happiness
The moon, the sun, the night and the day are made or created by him, to listen to him, came to (his) mind.
“He, whose creation are the sun and moon, and day and night we should listen to his words. O great Brahmin! relate the story of Him, whose secret has not even been comprehended by the Vedas.2402.
“He, whom, Kartikeya and Sheshnaga searched and got tired, but they could not know His end
He, who has been eulogised by Brahma in the Vedas.
“He, whom Shiva etc. had been searching, but could not know His Mystery
O Shukdev! relate to me the story of that Lord.”2403.
When the king said this, then Shukdev replied,
“I am relating to you the mystery of that Merciful Lord, who is the support of the oppressed
“Now I relate this how the Lord removed the suffering of the Brahmin named Sudama
O king! now I relate that, listen attentively,”2404.
