O brāhmaṇas, may you as well as Gaṅgā Devī know me, of such disposition, as a surrendered soul, whose mind is fixed on Bhagavān. Being impelled by the brāhmaṇa, let some illusionist deceive me or let the snake Takṣaka bite me, but please just go on singing the narrations of Bhagavān Viṣṇu without end.
