Worlds from Maharloka to Siva's City1 - Verse 352-355
Vayu Purana (G. V. Tagare English translation) · Chapter 100 · Verse 352-355
He who regularly reads this hymn of prayer narrated by Vayu, whether a Br&hmana, a Kgatriya or a Vaiiya but observing his duties, attains S&lokya with Rudra. He will be endowed with devotion and be free from ailments. A Sudra who is not addicted to wine, who is a devotee of Bhava and who has conquered his sense organs, remains till the time of dissolution without obstacles and attains the leadership of Ganas or the abode coveted by all. If he is a wine addict, he rejoices with those groups of Bhutas who are drunkards. Being worshipped on the earth he will be the granter of boons to men. Thus the Wind-god the excellent lord spoke these words. 877
