Shloka 69
न च राजभयं तेषां न पिशाचान्न राक्षसात् । नाग्न्यम्बुपवनव्यालाद् भयं तस्योपजायते,गायत्रीका जप करनेसे द्विजको राजा, पिशाच, राक्षस, आग, पानी, हवा और साँप आदिका भय नहीं होता
na ca rājabhayaṁ teṣāṁ na piśācān na rākṣasāt | nāgny-ambu-pavana-vyālād bhayaṁ tasyopajāyate ||
ビーシュマは言った。「その者には恐れが起こらない——王たちに対しても、ピシャーチャ（piśāca）に対しても、ラクシャサ（rākṣasa）に対しても。さらに火・水・風・蛇に対しても恐怖は生じない。かくして、規律をもってガーヤトリー（Gāyatrī）を誦するなら、二度生まれの者（dvija）は顕れた危難と見えざる危難から守られ、ダルマにおける不動の心がいよいよ強まる。」

Educational Q&A
Regular Gāyatrī-recitation and disciplined spiritual practice cultivate inner steadiness and are praised as conferring protection—symbolically and ethically—against threats from rulers, hostile beings, and natural dangers.
In the Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and religious duties; here he extols the power of sacred recitation (especially Gāyatrī-japa) as a safeguard for the dvija who follows it.
