TRANSLATION

My dear sons of the King, the prayers which I have recited to you are
meant for pleasing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Supersoul. I
advise you to recite these prayers, which are as effective as great aus-
terities. In this way, when you are mature, your life will be successful, and
you will certainly achieve all your desired objectives without fail.

PURPORT

If we persistently engage in devotional service, certainly all of our desires
will be fulfilled in due course of time.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Canto, Twenty-
fourth Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Chanting the Song
Sung by Lord Siva.”
