itihāsam imaṁ puṇyaṁ
dhārayed yaḥ samāhitaḥ
sa vidhūyeha śamalaṁ
brahma-bhūyāya kalpate

Anyone who meditates on this pious historical narration with fixed attention will purify himself of all contamination in this very life and thus achieve the highest spiritual perfection.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Eleventh Canto, Fifth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Nārada Concludes His Teachings to Vasudeva.”
