O best of goddesses, he stayed in that dreadful place for one kalpa (a very long age). Then he got a tiger's birth, and then a bull's.

पुनर्मानुषयोनिं च मृतवत्सत्वमाप्नुयात् ॥

अस्य शान्तिं प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु देवि वरानने ॥

दशांशहवनं चैव तदा पापक्षयो भवेत् ॥
Then a homa (fire offering) of a tenth, and the sin is destroyed. He should always meditate on Govinda and always sing the praise of Govinda.
