Brāhmaṇa-pūjā, Haviḥ-dāna, and the Vāsudeva–Pṛthivī Saṃvāda
Chapter 34
जो सब देवताओंको प्रणाम करते हैं, एकमात्र वेदका आश्रय लेते, श्रद्धा रखते और इन्द्रियोंको वशमें रखते हैं वे भी दुस्तर संकटसे छुटकारा पा जाते हैं ।।
yo sarvadevatābhyo namaskurvanti, ekamātra-vedāśrayaṃ labhante, śraddadhānā indriyāṇi ca vaśe kurvanti, te 'pi dustara-saṅkaṭāt pramucyante. tathaiva vipra-pravarān namaskṛtya yata-vratāḥ, bhavanti ye dāna-ratā durgāṇy atitaranti te. nārada uvāca.
ナーラダは言った。「すべての神々に礼拝し、ただ一つのヴェーダに帰依し、信を保ち、諸根を制する者は、越え難い災厄からも解き放たれる。同様に、誓戒を厳しく守り、最上のブラーフマナに敬礼して施しを喜ぶ者も、恐るべき危難をさえ渡り切る。」

Educational Q&A
Calamities are overcome through a dharmic life: reverence to the divine, reliance on Vedic guidance, faith, and self-control; and, in social-ethical practice, disciplined vows combined with honoring learned brāhmaṇas and giving charity.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s discourse on dāna-dharma, Nārada instructs that both inner discipline (faith and control of the senses) and outward righteous conduct (respectful salutation and charitable giving to worthy brāhmaṇas) enable one to pass beyond severe dangers.
