p. 1146
1-3. Nrada said :-- O Bhagavn! O All-knowing One! O Thou versed in all the Sstras! I have heard from Thy mouth all the secrets of Srutis and Smritis. Now I ask Thee, O Deva! How can the knowledge of that Veda Vidy (Learning) be obtained by which all sins are rooted out and destroyed, how is Brahmajnam obtained and how can Moksa be obtained? How can death be conquered and how can
p. 1147
the best results be obtained in this world and in the next. O Lotus-eyed One! Thou oughtst to describe fully all these to me.
4-9. Nryana said :-- O Nrada! O Highly Learned One! Sdhu! Sdhu! You have now put a nice question indeed! Now I will describe one thousand and eight names of the Gyatr Dev. Listen attentively. These all sin-destroying auspicious names were composed by Brahm and first recited by Him. Its Risi is Brahm; the Chhandas is Anustup; the Devat is Gyatr; its Vja is Halavarna (consonants) and its Sakti is Svaravarna (vowels). Perform the Anga Nysa and the Kara Nysa by the Mtrik varnas (that is, by the fifty syllables). Now hear its Dhynam, that will do good to the Sdhakas (the practisers). [n.b. :-- Amga Nysa - Touching the limbs of the body with the hand accompanied by appropriate Mantras. Kara Nysa - assignment of the various parts of fingers and hand to different deities which is usually accompanied with prayers and corresponding gesticulations.] I worship the Kumr (virgin) Gyatr Dev, the Lotus-eyed One, riding on the Swan (the Prnas), and seated on a lotus (creation); Who is three-eyed and of a red colour; and Who is bright and decorated with gems and jewels of red, white, green, blue, yellow and other variegated colours; Who is holding in Her hands Kundik, the rosary, lotus and making signs as if ready to grant the desired boons and on whose neck is suspended the garland of red flowers. I worship the Dev Gyatr. [Note :-- The colours are the various emotions and feelings.]

156-159. O Nrada! Thus I have described to you one thousand (and eight) names of Gyatr; the hearing of which yields merits and destroys all sins and gives all prosperity and wealth. Specially in the Astamtithi (eighth lunar day) if after ones meditation (dhynam) worship, Homa, and japam, one recites this in company with the Brahmnas, one gets all sorts of satisfactions. These one thousand and eight names of the Gyatr ought not to be given to anybody indiscriminately. Speak this out to him only who is very devoted, who is a Brahmna, and who is an obedient disciple. Even if any devotee, fallen from the observances of char (right way of living), be a great friend, still do not disclose this to him.
160-165. In whatever house, these names are kept written, no cause of fear can creep in there and Laksm, the Goddess of wealth, though unsteady, remains steady in that house.
This great secret yields merits to persons, gives wealth to the poor, yields moksa to those who are desirous of it, and grants all desires. If anybody reads this, he gets cured of his diseases, and becomes freed from bondages and imprisonment. All the Great Sins, for example, murdering Brhmanas, drinking wine, stealing gold, going to the wife of ones Guru, taking gifts from bad persons, and eating the uneatables, all are destroyed, yea, verily destroyed! O Nrada! Thus I have recited to you this Great Secret. All persons get, indeed, united with Brahm (Brahama syujya) by this. True. True. True. There is not the least trace of doubt here.

156-159. O Nrada! Thus I have described to you one thousand (and eight) names of Gyatr; the hearing of which yields merits and destroys all sins and gives all prosperity and wealth. Specially in the Astamtithi (eighth lunar day) if after ones meditation (dhynam) worship, Homa, and japam, one recites this in company with the Brahmnas, one gets all sorts of satisfactions. These one thousand and eight names of the Gyatr ought not to be given to anybody indiscriminately. Speak this out to him only who is very devoted, who is a Brahmna, and who is an obedient disciple. Even if any devotee, fallen from the observances of char (right way of living), be a great friend, still do not disclose this to him.
160-165. In whatever house, these names are kept written, no cause of fear can creep in there and Laksm, the Goddess of wealth, though unsteady, remains steady in that house.
This great secret yields merits to persons, gives wealth to the poor, yields moksa to those who are desirous of it, and grants all desires. If anybody reads this, he gets cured of his diseases, and becomes freed from bondages and imprisonment. All the Great Sins, for example, murdering Brhmanas, drinking wine, stealing gold, going to the wife of ones Guru, taking gifts from bad persons, and eating the uneatables, all are destroyed, yea, verily destroyed! O Nrada! Thus I have recited to you this Great Secret. All persons get, indeed, united with Brahm (Brahama syujya) by this. True. True. True. There is not the least trace of doubt here.
