Thus, O king, have I described to you the births and incarnations of the portions of the Devas, Asuras, Gandharvas, Apsaras and Rakshasas, those that appeared on earth as invincible kings. Those illustrious ones that were born in the extensive race of the Yadus, those that were born as Brahmanas, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas, have all been described. This Anshavatarana (accounts of incarnations), which is capable of bestowing wealth, fame, long-life, offspring and victory, should be heard with proper frame of mind.
इति देवासुराणां ते गन्धर्वाप्सरसां तथा। अंशावतरणं राजन् राक्षसानां च कीर्तितम्॥ ये पृथिव्यां समुद्धृता राजानो युद्धदुर्मदाः। महात्मानो यदूनां च ये जाता विपुले कुले॥ ब्राह्मणाः क्षत्रिया वैश्या मया ते परिकीर्तिताः। धन्यं यशस्यं पुत्रीयमायुष्यं विजयावहम्। इदमंशावतरणं श्रोतव्यमनसूयता॥
