The Bharata, uttered from the lips of Dvaipayana is matchless, it is sacred, it is virtue itself. It destroys sins and produces good. What is the necessity for him, who hears it when it is being recited, to bathe in the sacred Pushkara!
द्वैपायनौष्ठपुटनिःसृतमप्रमेयं पुण्यं पवित्रमथ पापहरं शिवं च। यो भारतं समधिगच्छति वाच्यमानं किं तस्य पुष्करजलैरभिषेचनेन॥
