Shloka 61
देवा देवर्षयश्लैव स्तुता राजर्षयस्तथा । पुष्टिमायुर्यश: स्वर्ग विधास्यन्ति ममेश्वरा:
devā devarṣayaś caiva stutā rājarṣayas tathā | puṣṭim āyur yaśaḥ svargaṁ vidhāsyanti mameśvarāḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「神々、神仙（デーヴァリシ）、そして王仙（ラージャリシ）を讃えるならば、彼ら—主権の力として—我に滋養と安寧、長寿、名声、そして天界への到達を授けるであろう。」

Educational Q&A
Reverent praise of divine and spiritually accomplished authorities (gods, divine seers, and royal sages) is presented as a dharmic act that yields tangible and moral fruits—well-being, longevity, good reputation, and a meritorious heavenly destiny—because such beings are regarded as capable dispensers of results.
Bhishma, instructing on dharma, explains the efficacy of stuti (praise). He states that honoring devas, devarshis, and rajarshis invites their favor, through which they can grant prosperity, long life, fame, and access to svarga.
