TRANSLATION

When the great sage Agastya, the son of Kumbha, was residing
in the Malaya Hills and worshiping the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, I approached him, and he explained to me this
confidential history.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Sixth Canto, Third
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, entitled “Yamardja Instructs His
Messengers.”
