Vyasa The Bhagavad Gita (Telang translation… (1882)

Now kindly relate the glories of the eighteenth chapter of the Ṥrīmad Bhagavad-gītā.
Lord Shiva said: Oh daughter of the Himalayas [Parvati] , please listen to the glories of the eighteenth chapter of the Ṥrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, which is higher than the Vedas and the giver of unlimited bliss. When it enters into one’s ears it destroys all material desires. For the pure devotee, it is divine nectar, it is Lord Vishnu’s very life, and it is a solace to the hearts of Lord Indra and the demigods, as well as the great yogis headed by Sanak and Sananda.

Vyasa The Bhagavad Gita (Telang translation… (1882)

There is no other recitation, which can so quickly destroy all sin and free one from the threefold miseries of this world. Now listen with great devotion.
On the topmost peak of Mount Meru is Amaravati, which was built by Vishvakarma. In that heavenly kingdom, Lord Indra and his wife Sachi are served by the demigods. One day while Lord Indra was sitting peacefully, he saw that a beautiful person had arrived there, whom the servants of Lord Vishnu were serving. When Indra saw the beautiful young person, he immediately fell from his throne to the ground.
