In this way, when you are mature, your life will be successful, and you will certainly achieve all your desired objectives without fail.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

O princes! With concentration, while chanting these prayers concerning the Supreme Lord, Paramātmā, sung by me, undertake great austerities, and in the end you will achieve the desired result. “You will attain your desired result” indicates that they had material desires. Thus ends the commentary on the Twenty-fourth Chapter of the Fourth Canto of the Bhāgavatam for the pleasure of the devotees, in accordance with the previous ācāryas.
