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 dit : Ceux qui écoutent l’éloge sublime de Savitrī (le mantra Gāyatrī), identifié au Brahman suprême, ne sont pas atteints par la peine ; ils parviennent à la plus haute demeure. L’enseignement met en avant l’écoute dévotionnelle et la célébration respectueuse du savoir sacré comme voie dharmique vers la liberté intérieure et l’accomplissement ultime.
