Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Once Yājṣavalkya, one of the disciples of Vaiśampāyana, said: O master, how much benefit will be derived from the feeble endeavors of these weak disciples of yours? I will perform some difficult penance. Yājṣavalkya was Vaiśampāyana’s disciple. What is the use of atonements by these weak disciples? Let them be happy. I alone will perform proper austerity.
