Beyond these, countless further companies of munis came together, which Nishkulanand has here recounted only in brief summary.
Then follow the beautiful names of the sannyasis, who renounced worldly desire, discerning and thoughtful souls with deep dispassion in their hearts: Devanand, Purnanand (two of that name), Shridharanand — sannyasis; Shankaranand, Madhavanand, Keshavanand, worshippers of Hari; Shivanand, Vasudevanand, Nityanand, Krishnanand; Padmanabhanand, Purushottamanand, Janardananand; Jnananand, Anantanand, Vaishnavanand, and others — such were the many sannyasis, all resplendent together.

There were many other devoted servants (das) besides — listen to their names: each surpassing the other in freedom from greed and desire — Raghavdas, Madhavdas, Gangadas, Govardhan; Haridas, Gambhirdas, Jnandas, the pure; Vishnudas, Prabhudas, Sevadas, Shitaldas; Premdas, Purushottamdas, Ramdas, Santdas; Narayandas, Nirlepdas, Kalyandas; Kapildas, Krishnadas, Lakshmandas; Dayaldas, Dwarkadas, Bhagwandas, who worshipped Hari; Haridas, Hanumandas, Jayaramdas, Janakidas.

Thus, one by one, the names were fixed in due order; whoever hears them with devotion crosses over the ocean of worldly existence.
Having given them names and this instruction, he said: "Go now and wander region by region, bringing salvation to souls, giving good instruction."
Then, falling at the Lord's feet, they spoke these words: "This good responsibility has made us fortunate — today we are truly joyful."
Scripture and Purana declare that renunciation is the true glory of a sadhu; one who becomes a renunciant yet still desires bodily comfort is the greatest fool.
"Without you, Hari, who in the three worlds works for our true good?
Today we have become happy, for you, compassionate one, have shown us grace."
