धन्यं यशस्यं नियतं सुपुण्यं स्वर्मोक्षदं पापहरं नराणाम् । शृणोति नित्यं नियतः शुचिः पुमान्भित्त्वा रविं विष्णु पदं प्रयाति
dhanyaṃ yaśasyaṃ niyataṃ supuṇyaṃ svarmokṣadaṃ pāpaharaṃ narāṇām | śṛṇoti nityaṃ niyataḥ śuciḥ pumānbhittvā raviṃ viṣṇu padaṃ prayāti
ই ধন্য, যশদায়ক, অচল আৰু অতি পুণ্যময়—মানৱৰ স্বৰ্গ-মোক্ষদাতা আৰু পাপহৰ। যি শুচি আৰু নিয়মবান পুৰুষ নিত্য ইয়াক শোনে, সি সূৰ্যক অতিক্ৰম কৰি বিষ্ণুৰ পৰম পদ লাভ কৰে।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative frame)
Listener: general disciplined hearer (niyataḥ śuciḥ pumān)
Scene: A pure, disciplined devotee listens daily; a symbolic ascent is shown: crossing the solar orb and moving toward a radiant Vaikuṇṭha/Viṣṇu-pada, while sins fall away as dark fragments.
Regular devotional listening, combined with purity and discipline, is portrayed as a direct path to liberation.
The benefits are tied to the Koṭitīrtha māhātmya being recited in this chapter.
Nitya-śravaṇa—hearing the sacred māhātmya daily, while remaining śuci (pure) and niyata (disciplined).
