ENGLISH TRANSLATION
111.A person who, in the grip of worry, devotedly recites this prayer, attains a peaceful heart. He becomes happy. His family prospers. 112.If a woman separated from Her husband, child, or friend devotedly recites this prayer daily for one month, she will see her dear one. 113.If a young girl hears this prayer every day for one year, she will attain a husband virtuous like Lord Kåñëa Himself. 114.Sitting in the water, Rädhä offered these prayers and meditated on Lord Kåñëa's lotus feet. When She opened Her eyes, She could see only Lord Kåñëa everywhere. 115.O sage, then Rädhä saw that the Yamunä's shore was filled with garments and other things. She thought that She was either dreaming or so exhausted Her mind was playing tricks. 116.The gopis found that the garments and other things were exactly as they had been before. 117.Rising from the water, the splendid gopis concluded the vow, attained the boon they desired, and returned to their homes. 118.Çri Närada said: How is this vow performed? What is its name? What result does it bring? What should be offered in it? What dakñiëä should be given? 119.What is the beautiful secret learned at the end of this vow? O very fortunate one, please tell in detail everything related to Lord Kåñëa. 120.Çri Süta Gosvämi said: Smiling when He heard Närada's words, Çri Näräyaëa Åñi, the guru of the guru of the kings of philosophers, explained everything.
