In the sacred and rare field known as Purushottama, a place of great excellence, the ocean himself—lord of all rivers—once raised this land from the waters. From that moment onward, this field became a site that grants liberation, and the divine Lord abides there, bestowing all desired fruits to the gods. Those who seek refuge in Ananta, the Lord of all, with devotion expressed through word, mind, and deed, inevitably attain the supreme state. Even a single sight of Ananta, if accompanied by devotion, worship, and humble bowing, yields a reward ten times greater than the fruits of the Rajasuya or Ashvamedha sacrifices. Such a devotee, uplifted by merit, is carried in a celestial chariot radiant as the sun, adorned with tinkling bells and filled with every pleasure, shining with fulfillment. He uplifts twenty-one generations of his lineage, is served by divine women, praised by Gandharvas, and ultimately attains the city of Vishnu. There, he enjoys excellent pleasures, free from old age and death, possessing a divine and splendid form, and remains until the dissolution of creation. When his merit is exhausted, he returns to earth. If he is the best among the twice-born, knowledgeable in the four Vedas, and takes up Vaishnava yoga, he then attains liberation. Thus, the endless greatness of this place is described; even in a hundred years, who could recount all its virtues? This supreme field, Purushottama, possesses boundless glory, granting both enjoyment and liberation to people, and is exceedingly rare. There, Krishna, the lotus-eyed, dwells—bearing conch, discus, and mace, clad in yellow garments, the slayer of Kamsa and Keshi. Those who see Krishna there, worshipped by gods and demons alike, along with Sankarshana and Subhadra, are truly blessed. There can be no doubt: those who always meditate on Krishna, the Lord of the three worlds and bestower of all desires, attain liberation. Those devoted to Krishna, who remember him at night and again upon rising, their separate bodies merge into Krishna, just as an offering poured with mantra enters the sacrificial fire. Therefore, those who desire liberation should diligently seek to behold Krishna, the lotus-eyed, in this field. Wise ones who see Krishna, Sankarshana, and Subhadra at the time of lying down and rising attain the abode of Hari. Those who, at all times and with devotion, see the Supreme Person—Rauhineya and Subhadra—attain the world of Vishnu. Whoever stays for four months of the rainy season in Purushottama on earth attains a merit greater than that of pilgrimage to all holy places. Those who always reside there, with senses and anger subdued, obtain the fruit of austerity. Whatever result a man obtains by performing austerity at other holy places for ten thousand years, he attains in a single month at Purushottama. The fruits gained by austerity, celibacy, and renunciation of attachment are always obtained there by the wise. Whatever merit arises from bathing and giving gifts at all holy places, that fruit is always obtained there. Each day, a pure and devoted person gains the fruit that arises from proper pilgrimage, vows, and discipline. A person with controlled senses obtains daily the same result that is gained by men through various kinds of sacrifices. Those who give up their bodies in that supreme place of Purushottama attain liberation, reaching the wish-fulfilling tree—there is no doubt. Those who abandon their bodies between the Banyan and the Ocean attain the rare supreme liberation. Even a man who, without desire, gives up his life there becomes free from suffering and attains the difficult-to-obtain liberation. Creatures such as worms, insects, moths, and others born in lower wombs, abandoning their bodies there, attain the highest state. See, O twice-born, the delusion of people regarding other holy places; whatever is obtained at other sacred sites by the name of Purusha is surpassed here. He who, even once, beholds Purushottama with faith becomes the best among thousands of men. Because Purushottama is beyond nature and even superior to Purusha, he is called Purushottama in the Veda, the Purana, and in this world. He who is spoken of in the Purana and Vedanta as the Supreme Self abides for the benefit of the universe; thus, he is Purushottama. Whether in a sacred path, cremation ground, house, or crossroads, wherever a person, willingly or unwillingly, gives up the body in this field, he attains liberation. Therefore, those who desire liberation should strive to abandon the body in that field. The greatness of the place called Purusha has never been and will never be equaled; abandoning the body there, a man attains the rare liberation. Only a portion of the virtues of this field have been described; who could declare all its qualities, even in a hundred years? If you desire eternal liberation, O best of sages, then dwell diligently in this excellent and holy field. Upon hearing the words of Brahma, the one of unmanifest birth, the seekers dwelt there and attained the supreme state. Therefore, O best of twice-born, reside there with effort, in the excellent field called Purusha, if you desire liberation. In that field, which brings happiness to all beings, Purushottama grants the fruits of righteousness, wealth, desire, and liberation.
