The Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, is renowned in the world, with the teachings of my revered Guru. The elder, by means of it, has expounded the secrets of the Shruti. ||398|| The fruit of the sacrifice, the death, has been revealed by me too. If you do not believe, then ask Vasu, the king who has crossed the ocean of the Vedas, and is renowned for truth. ||399|| Hearing this, Narada said, "What is the fault in asking Vasu?" ||400|| This is worth considering, if violence is considered a means of Dharma, then non-violence, charity, and good conduct will become causes of sin. ||401|| If, as you say, fishermen and other sinners have a good fate, then those who follow truth, Dharma, austerity, and celibacy should go to a lower fate. ||402|| Perhaps you will say that killing animals in a sacrifice is Dharma, but not elsewhere?

If he creates them anew, then how are celestial flowers, etc., non-existent things,
