I now speak of the devotees of the Bhal region, whose bodies are exceedingly pure -- who discerned truth from falsehood and thereby took up satsang.

Deeply renunciant within, who naturally gave up craving for taste, and formed love for the Supreme Brahman, giving up the poison-talk of the world.

Many lands, many village names -- having worshipped Hari, they attained the supreme abode.

The names of Hari's devotees are countless, none can utter them with a single tongue.

Countless souls are redeemed, wherever the manifest Purushottam dwells; how can a poet tell it fully, he of whom the Vedas say only "not this"?

Those who sing of Hari and Hari's devotees become themselves purifiers of the fallen; hearing this fame with their own ears, countless karmas are cut away.

Pure are the ears that hear such tales, pure the tongue that sings such fame -- what unfortunate soul would be too lazy to speak or hear it?

Therefore, having pondered this in mind, take up with reverence the uttering of these names; listen, all of good understanding, as I tell some of these names with certainty.

Thus, in the Bhaktachintamani composed by Nishkulanand Muni, disciple of Shri Sahajanand Swami, propagator of the glorious Ekantik Dharma, the chapter naming the devotees of the Bhal region, the one hundred and eighteenth chapter, is concluded.
