TRANSLATION

One who rises from bed early in the morning and recites this
history of Citraketu, controlling his words and mind and remem-
bering the Supreme Personality of Godhead, will return home,
back to Godhead, without difficulty.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Sixth Canto, Seventeenth
Chapter, of the Srimad-Bhagavatam entitled, “Mother Parvati Curses
Citraketu.””
