There is Vishnu as mountain of clear crystal : for how can he live in the hearts of those men suflied with malice and envy ? The glowing heat of ftS does not exist in the closter of the cooling rays of the moon. Vísudeva always resides *in his heart whose mind is pure, free from malice, quisfc) who has a pure character, is a friend to all, speaking wisely and kindly, humble and sincere. The eternal Vishnu residing in his heart a man appears lovely to all, as 3 beautiful young Sal-tree declares that there is the excellent juice inside it. Depart, my emissary, speedily from those men, whose sins have been washed away by self- control and moral descipline, whose minds are always deroted to the undecaying and who are freed from avarice, unkindness and malicc. If the divine Hari, who is without heginning or end and is armed with a sword, conch and toace, lives in the heart of a man he is freed from all sins : for how can darkness exist in the sun ? He, wbo pilfefs another's wealth, slays animals, speaks untrue and cruef words, whose toind is impure and is addicted to impious actions, does not get the Endless in his heart. JanSrdana does not reside in the heart of that vile wight who cannot bear the pros- perity of another, vAo vilifies the vious, does not perform sacrifices and does not make gifts to the pious. Consider ■>ot that person, engaged in vile actions, as the worshipper «f Vishnu, who by foul means, earns wealth for his dear 'fiend, wife, son, daughter, father, mother or servants.
