“ If one sees S'iva in the morning, the sins of the night are atoned; if at 
noon, the sins committed since one’s birth ; if in the evening, the sins accumulated 
during seven births. As of bestowing away gold in bulk as great as Meru, 
and billions of kine and fifty millions of horses, is the merit of beholding S'iva.”

“ First, the god’s birth from the womb of Devaki ; his nurture in the house 
of the neatherd ; his taking the life of the illusory Putana ; his lifting up 
Govardhana ; his killing Kansa ; his slaying the Kauravas and others ; his pro- 
tection of the sons of Kunti : this is, in essence , the Bliagavatdy the nectar of 
the sports of the blessed Krishna, as set forth in the Purana.” 
* The v isarga has been supplied. 
t Corrected from feo. 
t I do not know the meaning of this epithet. It is more than likely that the 
Sanskrit is depraved.
