TRANSLATION

In this very great narrative there is glorification of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Narayana, there are statements about the
exaltedness of devotional service, there are descriptions of devo-
tees like Indra and Vrtrasura, and there are statements about King
Indra’s release from sinful life and about his victory in fighting
the demons. By understanding this incident, one is relieved of all
sinful reactions. Therefore the learned are always advised to read
this narration. If one does so, one will become expert in the ac-
tivities of the senses, his opulence will increase, and his reputation
will become widespread. One will also be relieved of all sinful reac-
tions, he will conquer all his enemies, and the duration of his life
will increase. Because this narration is auspicious in all respects,
learned scholars regularly hear and repeat it on every festival day.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Sixth Canto, Thirteenth
Chapter, of the Srimad- -Bhagavatam, entitled “King Indra Afflicted by
Sinful Reaction.”
