Chapter 21:  Instructions by Mahârâja Prithu

(31) By the inclination of service to the lotus feet do persons of penance instantly destroy the dirt of the mind acquired
by countless births; as like with the [Ganges] water emanating from His toes they, day after day, see their gain increasing.


Chapter 22:  Prithu Mahârâja's Meeting with the Four Kumâras

(19) An association of devotees in which there is discussion, questioning and answering is
no doubt conclusive for both the parties, and real happiness for all will expand from it.



Chapter 23: Mahârâja Prithu's Going Back Home

(13) Thus as the best of the heroes setting his mind to the Supersoul gave he,
thoroughly spiritually  purified, in due course of time up his vehicle of time.

 


Chapter 24: The Song Sung by Lord S'iva

(18) Although he is satisfied within himself is he, the great Lord S'iva, when he has manifested within this world and for the sake of its existence is engaged with its forces, horrible to experience in his actions [through Kâlî or Durgâ or Virabâdhra, see 4.5].'




(53) Yours is the form one must meditate upon; it purifies the self of all those who of the devotional
service desire the factual fearlessness that is found in the performance of one's own duty.


Chapter 25: About the Character of King Purañjana

 

(23) She wore a yellow garment and had a beautiful waist with a dark skin, a golden belt and at her
feet anklebells tinkling as she walked; she appeared just like a denizen of heaven.


Chapter 26: King Purañjana Goes Hunting and Finds His Morose Wife

(9) From the destruction of the animal bodies pierced by the arrows with different kinds of feathers,
there was great sadness, unbearable as that was for compassionate souls.
