Chapter 13:
King Indra Afflicted by Sinful Reaction
(8-9) One who has killed
a brahmin, his father, a cow, his mother or his spiritual master, such
a sinner or outcast dog-eater even may find purification in singing His
holy name. If you, with us with faith conducting the as'vamedha
sacrifice, the topmost of all sacrifices, are not even contaminated by
killing all creatures of Brahmâ including the ones of respect for
him, then what for having killed a harassing demon?'
Chapter 14:
King Citraketu's Lamentation
(3) There are as many
living entities as there are atoms in this material world; of them
there are
indeed some human and alike and out of them there are only a few acting
to do good.
Chapter 15:
The Saints Nârada and Angirâ
Instruct
King Citraketu
(27) S'rî
Nârada said: 'Listen good and accept this mantra of philosophy
from me, which, concentrating on it for seven nights,
will give you the vision of the all-pervading Lord Sankarshana ['the
one with the plough' see 5.25].
Chapter 16:
King Citraketu Meets the Supreme Lord
(20) By the realization
of Your personal bliss are the waves of the material ocean overcome. My
reverences unto
that Controller of the Senses so Supreme; my respects for You whose
expansions are unlimited.
(39) They who desire
gratification do, just as fried seeds, not flourish in You o Supreme
One; but in the full of Your spiritual knowledge
is a person not affected by the network of the modes and the duality of
their material qualities [compare: B.G. 4:
9].
Chapter 17:
Mother Pârvatî Curses Citraketu
(4-5) Once roaming in his
brightly shining, heavenly vehicle that he had gotten from Lord Vishnu,
saw he Lord S'iva in the midst of all the saintly. Surrounded by the
perfected and the singers of heaven, embraced he with his arm the
goddess who sat on his lap. Citraketu laughing loudly thereto then
spoke in the presence of the mother for her clearly to hear.
(36)
S'rî S'uka said: Thus hearing what the great Lord S'iva had to
tell her, found Pârvatî her peace
of mind back o King and was the goddess freed from her astonishment.
Chapter 18:
Diti Vows to Kill King Indra
(19) The fourty-nine
Maruts, also sons of Diti, had no sons themselves and
were by Indra all elevated to the position of demigods.'
(40) What an offense it is to
dance to the tune of women in this world; because I'm thus out
of control with my senses, I'll be damned alas in not knowing what is
good for me.
Chapter 19:
Performing the Pumsavana Ritualistic Ceremony
(11) 'The both of You are
indeed the proprietors of the universe, the Supreme Cause. This
external world of Yours
is certainly difficult to fathom and the internal potency is difficult
to surpass.
