To Nandī, the god established as the giver of knowledge and freedom from fear, reverence was offered; to Bharga, destroyer of sin and infinite creator, bows were made. A prayer was uttered: “If you are pleased, O Lord of the gods, grant the root of knowledge.” All auspicious syllables, beginning with ‘a’, ‘i’, and ‘u’, are said to embody every color, and in the lake of knowledge, with the water of truth, all stains of attachment and aversion are washed away. The mind itself is recognized as a great sacred place, where the vision of Brahman arises. Having spoken these words, Rudra vanished, and Pāṇini returned home. There, he composed the Liṅgasūtra and attained the highest liberation. From that place, the Gaṅgā herself, embodying all sacred waters, went forth as auspicious. Pāṇini became a devotee of Kṛṣṇa, accomplished in the Vedas and their branches. He journeyed to the delightful Vṛndāvana, accompanied by cowherds and cowherd women. At the end of the rainy season, Hari bestowed upon him unsurpassed knowledge—the same wisdom that Śuka had described to the wise Viṣṇurāta. At the conclusion of that narration, Lord Viṣṇu, Janārdana, appeared. It was acknowledged that the universe, consisting of gods, animals, and humans, is pervaded by Him. Those who create hell in His name are fulfilled in the age of Kali, and the question was raised about the greatness of such fulfillment, should the boon be granted. When the world falls under Buddhist rule, shaped by hypocrisy and deception, victory is proclaimed to the Lord of existence, the embodiment of truth, consciousness, and bliss, creator of the universe. Upon hearing this, Śivā asked, “Who is your supreme deity?” Purity of the earth was thus attained. Hearing further, the goddess Śivā entered into a secret time. Caṇḍīśa, Gaṇeśa, Nandī, and Guha were also present. The delightful story residing in the mind was prepared to be told to the goddess. After eight days, eyes were opened, and Śivā, who had entered sleep, was seen. “How many verses have you heard?” Jagadambikā asked. The parrot, dwelling in the hollow, having listened, attained longevity and remained in Śiva’s abode, absorbed in meditation. By him, the greatness and rarity of the Bhāgavata were realized. Upon reaching the bank of the Narmadā, the auspicious story was narrated, meant for a worthy recipient—a wise devotee of Vishnu. Having spoken thus, the god Bopadeva, his mind serene, disappeared. Thus ends the thirty-second chapter in the compendium of the history of the Kali Age, in the section called Caturyuga-khanda-aparaparyaya, within the Pratisarga Parva of the glorious Bhavishya Mahapurana. Desiring to hear the vastness of all the Vedas, the question was raised: “By which hymn may one obtain the fruit of reciting the Vedas?” There was one known as Vyadhakarma, born from a Shudra in a Brahmin woman—the wife of the threefold-reciting twice-born, named Kamini. The twice-born, seeking livelihood, once went to recite the Saptashati. A month passed, and he did not return home. Kamini, seeing the Nishada, strong and making a living by carrying wood, conceived after receiving the seed of the hunter. Twelve years passed, and that child, devoid of Vedic knowledge, grew up.
