Shloka 60
मखो हि विष्णुर्भगवान् सनातनो वदन्ति तच्चाग्न्यनिलेन्दुभानव: । अतोडनसूयु: शृणुयात् पठेच्च यः स सर्वलोकानुचर: सुखी भवेत्
makho hi viṣṇur bhagavān sanātano vadanti tac cāgny-anilendu-bhānavaḥ | ato 'ḍana-sūyuḥ śṛṇuyāt paṭhec ca yaḥ sa sarva-lokānucaraḥ sukhī bhavet ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。「永遠なる福徳の主ヴィシュヌこそ、まさしく供犠（マカ）である。火神アグニ、風神ヴァーユ、月、太陽さえもそう宣言する。ゆえに、咎を探す心と嫉みを捨て、この戦争供犠の物語を誦し、あるいは聴聞する者は、あらゆる世界を巡る幸福な旅人となる。」

The verse identifies Viṣṇu with the very essence of yajña (makha) and teaches that approaching the war narrative without envy or fault-finding—by hearing or reciting it—yields auspicious spiritual fruit: happiness and free movement through all worlds.
Vaiśampāyana concludes a section with a phalaśruti (statement of benefits), framing the battlefield account as a ‘war-sacrifice’ and asserting, with cosmic witnesses (Agni, Vāyu, Moon, Sun), that Viṣṇu is the sacrificial principle behind it.
