Hearing (and by implication reverently receiving) a sacred mantra is presented as a dharmic act that yields both worldly welfare—longevity and success—and posthumous well-being, linking ethical-religious practice with benefits in both realms.
Bhishma, instructing a royal listener in Anushasana Parva, states the ‘fruit’ (phala) of a mantra just taught: whoever hears it becomes long-lived, achieves aims, and experiences joy in this life and the next.
