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 ||
Bhishma dijo: Quienes escuchan la excelsa alabanza de Savitrī (el mantra Gāyatrī), identificada con el Brahman Supremo, no son tocados por la aflicción; alcanzan el destino más alto. La enseñanza subraya la escucha devocional y la celebración reverente del conocimiento sagrado como medio dhármico hacia la libertad interior y la realización última.

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.
