TRANSLATION

Because this very confidential historical narration has the
potency to vanquish all sinful reactions, one who hears or de-
scribes it with faith and devotion is no longer doomed to hellish
life, regardless of his having a material body and regardless of how
sinful he may have been. Indeed, the Yamaditas, who carry out the
orders of Yamaraja, do not approach him even to see him. After
giving up his body, he returns home, back to Godhead, where he is
very respectfully received and worshiped.
