Translation
O Vyāsa, whose knowledge of the Vedas is without limit, you too should describe the glory of the Omnipotent, Omnipresent Lord (Vibhu), by which the quest for enlightenment of those who are wise finally reaches its end. They [the wise] do not recognize any other means of extinguishing the torment of those who are repeatedly oppressed by the miseries of material existence.
