Shloka 72

न तेषां विद्यते दुःखं गच्छन्ति परमां गतिम्‌ । ये शृण्वन्ति महद्‌ ब्रह्म सावित्रीगुणकीर्तनम्‌

na teṣāṃ vidyate duḥkhaṃ gacchanti paramāṃ gatim | ye śṛṇvanti mahad brahma sāvitrī-guṇa-kīrtanam ||

قال بهيشما: إنّ الذين يستمعون إلى الثناء الجليل على سافيتري (مانترا الغاياتري)، وقد عُدَّت صورةً للبراهمان الأعلى، لا تمسّهم الأحزان؛ ويبلغون المقصد الأسمى. وتؤكد هذه التعاليم أن السماع التعبّدي والاحتفاء الموقّر بالمعرفة المقدّسة وسيلةٌ دارمية للحرية الباطنة ونيل الغاية القصوى.

Educational Q&A

Listening with reverence to the glorification of Savitri (Gayatri), understood as connected with the Supreme Brahman, is presented as a dharmic practice that removes sorrow and leads to the highest spiritual attainment.

In Bhishma’s instruction (Anushasana Parva), he praises the spiritual efficacy of Savitri/Gayatri: those who hear its exalted qualities are said to become free from suffering and to reach the supreme destination.
