Translation

Sūta Gosvāmī said: Unto that personality whom Brahmā, Varuṇa, Indra, Rudra and the Maruts praise by chanting transcendental hymns and reciting the Vedas with all their corollaries, pada-kramas and Upaniṣads, to whom the chanters of the Sāma Veda always sing, whom the perfected yogīs see within their minds after fixing themselves in trance and absorbing themselves within Him, and whose limit can never be found by any demigod or demon — unto that Supreme Personality of Godhead I offer my humble obeisances.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Sūta Gosvāmī said: Unto that personality whom Brahmā, Varuṇa, Indra, Rudra and the Maruts praise by chanting transcendental hymns of the Vedas with all their corollaries, pada-kramas and Upaniṣads, whom the chanters of the Sāma Veda glorify, whom the perfected yogīs see within their minds after fixing themselves in meditation, and whom neither the devatās or demons can fathom—unto that Supreme Lord I offer my respects. The Thirteenth Chapter offers respects, prayer of auspiciousness concerning the Lord, enumerates the Purāṇas and glorifies gifting them. In the final chapter again respects are offered to the Lord. Stunvanti should be stuvanti. Upaniṣadaiḥ should be upaniṣadbhiḥ. By reciting this Purāṇa I have to some degree praised, meditated on and chanted about the Supreme Lord, but have not completely understood everything.
