Gṛhastha-Vrata
इदं यः कथयेद् विद्वानहन्यहनि भारत । सुदर्शनस्य चरितं पुण्याँलल्लोकानवाप्रुयात्,भरतनन्दन! जो विद्दान् सुदर्शनके इस चरित्रका प्रतिदिन वर्णन करता है वह पुण्यलोकोंको प्राप्त होता है-
idaṁ yaḥ kathayed vidvān ahany ahani bhārata | sudarśanasya caritaṁ puṇyān lokān avāpnuyāt ||
ビーシュマは言った。「バーラタよ、学識ある者が日ごとにこのスダルシャナの聖なる事績を語り伝えるなら、その者は福徳の世界に到る。」

Educational Q&A
Regularly recounting the life and conduct of a dharmic exemplar (here, Sudarśana) is itself a virtuous discipline; it cultivates right values and yields spiritual merit, described as attaining puṇya-lokas.
Bhīṣma concludes or endorses the account of Sudarśana by stating its phala-śruti (benefit statement): a learned person who narrates this story daily gains access to meritorious realms.
