Whether nearby or far away, if (a man) goes and carries cow-dung — as many steps as he takes, for so many thousands of years, for so many hundreds of years, he is at once honoured in the world of heaven. Fallen from the world of heaven, he goes to Śākadvīpa. Sūta said: Having heard that speech of his, of Mādhava, the illustrious Vasundharā, with her palms joined, replied again: "I shall attain the highest satisfaction, which has been ordained for me by the Ordainer." Having heard the words of the brahma-demon, the dog-cooker, eager for song (said): "By (my) truth I shall come back again; if you think fit, release me. The whole world is rooted in truth, the worlds are established in truth." Saying "Homage to Nārāyaṇa," the dog-cooker turns back. Then a man came quickly and stood before him. Having spoken thus, the dog-cooker too, ever steadfast in the vow of truth, came back to the demon and then said to him, honouring him. Having heard the words of the brahma-demon, the dog-cooker replied: "This speech you utter, O brahma-demon, is unknown to my mind. Fallen away from the sūtra and the mantra, (yet) established in sacrificial rites, thereupon I have sacrifices performed, afflicted by greed and delusion. I have become wholly stainless, good lady, like the moon in autumn. And the dog-cooker too, O fair-hipped one, is my accompanying singer. For thirty thousand years and thirty hundred years, having reached Puṣkaradvīpa, his dwelling is going as he pleases. If one should desire success, welfare, and good fortune, and what is dear to me — (this is) the highest duty of duties, the highest act of acts."
