Translation
I offer my obeisances to the Supreme Lord, the invincible Kṛṣṇa by remembrance of whose lotus feet I have understood this Purāṇa from Śukadeva.
Concluding the scripture, Sūta offers respects to his deity. I have understood (adhyagām) from the mouth of Śukadeva.
Personal Guidance
Suta closes with obeisances to invincible Kṛṣṇa, by meditation on whose lotus feet he has been able to recall this entire history. Devotion, not memory alone, retrieves spiritual teaching. The Lord supplies the very capacity to remember Him.
Reflection Questions
- When I forget what I read, do I ask Him for the memory back?
- How might prayer for memory itself reshape my study?
