Such is this uncommon narrative, in which Hari's deeds are told.
For satsangi men and women, this narrative brings happiness; hearing it again and again they shall find great bliss, and become firm in Dharma and its rules. For those devoted to the manifest Lord, this scripture is a treasury of bliss; in which are the deeds of one's own chosen deity -- hearing them brings supreme purity. Those devoted to Ram consider the Ramayana the most sacred of all and hear it with joy; those devoted to Krishna consider Krishna's divine plays, hearing them together with joy. So too, the followers of Sahajanand shall find joy hearing this. Such is this uncommon and excellent account, bringing happiness to satsangis.
For Hari's devotees this is nectar; for the opposed, it is poison. Hearing it, satsangis shall find joy -- thus speaks the truth-seeking Nishkulanand.
Thus ends the one hundred and sixty-third chapter of the Bhaktachintamani, giving this summary of all its chapters.
