Shloka 51
य: शृणोति महीपाल पर्वणीदं यतव्रत: । प्रीयन्ते पितरस्तस्य तथैव च पितामहा:,भूपाल! जो मनुष्य दृढ़तापूर्वक संयम एवं व्रतका पालन करते हुए प्रत्येक पर्वके दिन इस प्रसंगको सुनता है, उसके पितर और पितामह पूर्ण तृप्त होते हैं
yaḥ śṛṇoti mahīpāla parvaṇīdaṃ yatavrataḥ | prīyante pitaras tasya tathaiva ca pitāmahāḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「王よ、自制を守り、誓戒の規律を堅く保って、聖なる祭日のたびにこの物語を聴く者—その祖霊と先祖たちは、ことごとく満ち足りて喜ぶ。」

Educational Q&A
Regularly hearing sacred history with self-discipline and a vowed mind is presented as a dharmic act whose merit extends beyond oneself, bringing satisfaction to one’s ancestors and forefathers.
Sañjaya addresses the king and states a phalaśruti: whoever listens to this episode on parvan (festival/observance) days while maintaining restraint and vows gains the blessing that his pitṛs and pitāmahas are pleased.
