एष जप्यः प्रमाणं च सन्ध्योपासनमेव च ।। कल्यमुत्थाय पठते मम लोकं स गच्छति
eṣa japyaḥ pramāṇaṃ ca sandhyopāsanameva ca || kalyamutthāya paṭhate mama lokaṃ sa gacchati
This is the muttered prayer, and the authority, and the very worship of the twilights; he who rises at daybreak and recites it goes to my world.

न पठेन्मूर्खमध्ये तु कुशिष्याणां तथैव च ।। दद्याद्भागवते श्रेष्ठे मम कर्मपरायणे
na paṭhenmūrkhamadhye tu kuśiṣyāṇāṃ tathaiva ca || dadyādbhāgavate śreṣṭhe mama karmaparāyaṇe
But one should not recite it among fools, nor likewise among bad pupils; one should give it to an excellent Bhāgavata who is intent upon my rites.

But the vulture is born for seven years as a lord of the sky-goers; the two of them, vulture and jackal, feed on human flesh. In that place, O Earth, was Śiva, surrounded by all his hosts. Then, O goddess, my illusion being lost, I think, O Vasundharā, of the one god Nārāyaṇa, the great lord of all worlds: "O Viṣṇu, by your grace, and godhood too, O Mādhava." Hearing this speech of mine, the blessed Parameśvara said to me again: "Make me clearly awake, enlighten me, O lord of the world." Therefore, O Earth, the cremation ground is never pleasing to me, where the sin done by Rudra abides, fearful indeed. He is a fool and a doer of evil, though intent upon my rites; whatever faults he may incur, and transmigration, O Vasundharā — by expiation, O greatly blessed one, he goes to my world. Having drunk liquor, O fair-hipped one, whoever approaches me is cooked in hell for ten thousand years. I shall declare the expiation; listen to me as I speak it. Whoever performs the expiation according to this prescription, freed from all sins, goes to my world. I shall declare the expiation by which one may be freed from guilt: the twelfth of the bright fortnight of any month whatsoever; of any month whatsoever, on the twelfth of the bright fortnight, having slept in the open air, he would quickly be freed from guilt. Of narratives it is the great narrative, and of austerities the highest austerity; here I shall proclaim it to the brahmins, O Maheśvarī.
