Because this very confidential historical narration has the potency to vanquish all sinful reactions, one who hears or describes it with faith and devotion is no longer doomed to hellish life, regardless of his having a material body and regardless of how sinful he may have been. Indeed, the Yamadūtas, who carry out the orders of Yamarāja, do not approach him even to see him. After giving up his body, he returns home, back to Godhead, where he is very respectfully received and worshiped.

Translation
The person who, with faith, hears this most confidential story which destroys sin, or who recites this story with devotion, does not go to hell and is not seen by the servants of Yama, even if he was sinful. Rather he goes to the abode of the Lord.
