The narrative is described as the "very water of self-bliss," which, when consumed, paradoxically increases the thirst for more devotion. The text states that engaging with these succulent stories removes the fatigue and misery of worldly existence, leading to a state of happiness. Chapter 36 further suggests that for a fortunate soul desiring spiritual welfare, respectfully listening to these narrations is a key practice, as it purifies both the listener and the speaker.
