precious metals should be given as Dakshina. The names should then be taken of all the deities as also of Nara and Narayana.
|
Then, adorning the persons of some foremost of Brahmanas with scents and garlands, they should be gratified with diverse
|
kinds of gifts of enjoyable and very superior or costly articles. By doing this, one attains to the merits of the Atiratra sacrifice.
|
Indeed, at each successive Parva, he acquires the merits that attach to the performance of a sacrifice. The reciter, O chief of the
|
Bharatas, should be possessed of learning and endued with a good voice and a clear utterance respecting both letters and words.
|
Even such a man should, O chief of the Bharatas, recite the Bharata. After entertaining a number of foremost Brahmanas,
|
presents should be made unto them according to the ordinances. The reciter also, O chief of the Bharatas, should be decked
|
with ornaments and fed sumptuously. The reciter being gratified, the house-holder attains to an excellent and auspicious
|
contentment. If the Brahmanas are gratified, all the deities are gratified. After this, O chief of the Bharatas, Brahmanas should
|
be duly entertained with diverse kinds of enjoyable articles and superior things.
|
"I have thus indicated the ordinances, O foremost of men, (about the manner of reciting these scriptures) in answer to thy
|
enquiries. Thou shouldst observe them with faith. In listening to a recitation of the Bharata and at each Parana, O best of kings,
|
one that desires to attain to the highest good should listen with the greatest care and attention. One should listen to the Bharata
|
every day. One should proclaim the merits of the Bharata every day. One in whose house the Bharata occurs, has in his hands
|
all those scriptures which are known by the name of Jaya. The Bharata is cleansing and sacred. In the Bharata are diverse
|
topics. The Bharata is worshipped by the very gods. The Bharata is the highest goal. The Bharata, O chief of the Bharatas, is
|
the foremost of all scriptures. One attains to Emancipation through the Bharata. This that I tell thee is certain truth. One that
|
proclaims the merits of this history called the Mahabharata, of the Earth, of the cow, of Sarasvati (the goddess of speech), of
|
Brahmanas, and of Keshava, has never to languish.
|
"In the Vedas, in the Ramayana, and in the sacred Bharata, O chief of Bharatas race, Hari is sung in the beginning, the middle,
|
and at the end. That in which occur excellent statements relating to Vishnu, and the eternal Srutis, should be listened to by men
|
desirous of attaining to the highest goal. This treatise is sanctifying. This is the highest indicator as regards duties; this is
|
endued with every merit. One desirous of prosperity should listen to it. Sins committed by means of the body, by means of
|
words, and by means of the mind, are all destroyed (through listening to the Bharata) as Darkness at sunrise. One devoted to
|
Vishnu acquires (through this) that merit which is acquired by listening to the eighteen Puranas. There is no doubt in this. Men
|
and women (by listening to this) would certainly attain to the status of Vishnu. Women desirous of having children should
|
certainly listen to this which proclaims the fame of Vishnu. One desirous of attaining to the fruits that attach to a recitation of
|
the Bharata should, according to ones power, give unto the reciter Dakshina, as also an honorarium in gold. One desirous of
|
ones own good should give unto the reciter a Kapila cow with horns cased in gold and accompanied by her calf, covered with a
|
cloth. Ornaments, O chief of Bharatas race, for the arms, as also those for the ears, should be given. Besides these, other kinds
|
of wealth should be presented. Unto the reciter, O king of men, gift of land should be made. No gift like that of land could ever
|
be or will be. The man that listens (to the Bharata) or that recites it to other people, becomes cleansed of all his sins and attains
|
at last to the status of Vishnu. Such a man rescues his ancestors to the eleventh degree, as also himself with his wives and sons,
|
O chief of Bharatas race. After concluding a recitation of the Bharata, one should, O king, perform a Homa with all its ten
|
parts.
|
"I have thus, O chief of men, told everything in thy presence. He that listens with devotion to this Bharata from the beginning
|
becomes cleansed of every sin even if he be guilty of Brahmanicide or the violation of his preceptors bed, or even if he be a
|
drinker of alcohol or a robber of other peoples wares, or even if he be born in the Chandala order. Destroying all his sins like
|
the maker of day destroying darkness, such a man, without doubt, sports in felicity in the region of Vishnu like Vishnu
|
himself."
