In the Mahapurana, the Uttara Purana, the knowledge of the cause and effect of bondage due to auspicious and inauspicious actions should be known. The existence of liberation should be understood, and the cause of liberation should be ascertained. || 24 ||
The origin of the three types of detachment, the increase of faith in Dharma, the destruction of countless negative qualities, and the cessation of the flow of inauspicious actions, || 25 ||
The complete stoppage of the flow of karmic impurities, the liberation from all actions, and the ultimate purity, which is called the Siddhi of the soul, are all explained. || 26 ||
This should be explained, listened to, contemplated, worshipped with joy, written, and shared by the devotees. || 27 ||
The Muni, Lokesena, the master of all scriptures, the poet with flawless verses, the chief disciple of Gunabhadracharya, || 28 ||
He sought help in this Purana, and his excellent Guru-vinaya was accepted by the virtuous. || 28 ||
Whose lofty elephants, having drunk the bitter water of the Ganga, which was stained by the confluence of their own mad-like river, were repeatedly quenched of their thirst. They rested repeatedly in the dense sandalwood forest of the Kumari mountain, which was gently swaying with the waves of the ocean and where the rays of the sun were extinguished. || 29 ||
Lakshmi did not find happiness in the ocean of milk because it was churned by the mountain, nor in the chest of Narayana because it was repeatedly struck by the breasts of the Gopis, nor in the lotus because its petals bloomed during the day by the rays of the sun but contracted at night. || 30 ||
Thus, Lakshmi, leaving these three places, found happiness for a long time in the abode of the great-hearted, whose chest was like a strong house, supported by arms like pillars, and adorned with garlands like arches. || 30 ||
