Boar, which is worthy of description, the Lord, who is within the heart of everyone, is very pleased.

things to read and hear the narrations of the life and character of Pthu Mahrja.

activities, which will vanquish the sinful activities of all living entities. This narration of Lord

his body, he returns home, back to Godhead, where he is very respectfully received and worshiped.

woman who is avr who has no husband or son executes this ritualistic ceremony, she can be
promoted to the spiritual world. A woman whose children have died after birth can get a child with a long
duration of life and also become very fortunate in possessing wealth. If a woman is unfortunate she will
become fortunate, and if ugly she will become beautiful. By observing this vrata, a diseased man can gain
relief from his disease and have an able body with which to work. If one recites this narration while

desires. After one performs this ritualistic ceremony, Lord Viu and His wife, mother Lakm, the
