yo vai hiraṇyākṣa-vadhaṁ mahādbhutaṁ vikrīḍitaṁ kāraṇa-sūkarātmanaḥ śṛṇoti gāyaty anumodate 'ñjasā vimucyate brahma-vadhād api dvijāḥ
Translation
O brāhmaṇas, anyone who hears, chants, or takes pleasure in the wonderful narration of the killing of the Hiraṇyākṣa demon by the Lord, who appeared as the first boar in order to deliver the world, is at once relieved of the results of sinful activities, even the killing of a brāhmaṇa.
