Śakra said: Those who, having come to the assembly of Brahmins, recite this account of the worship offered to Śrī (Lakṣmī)—a rite performed by the gods headed by Indra and capable of granting every desired good—find their wishes fulfilled and attain prosperity itself.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that reverent recitation of an auspicious dharmic account—specifically the worship of Śrī (Lakṣmī) performed by the gods—brings about fulfillment of legitimate desires and the attainment of prosperity, especially when done in a learned, sacred community setting (the Brahmins’ assembly).
Indra (Śakra) is describing the fruit (phalaśruti) of a particular episode about Lakṣmī’s worship: those who come to a Brahmin assembly and recite this account are said to gain success in their aims and receive Śrī—i.e., prosperity and well-being.
