नित्यं परिचरेच्चैव तद् वै सुकृतमुत्तमम् । कीर्ति पुण्यं यशो लोकानू् प्राप्स्यसे राजसत्तम

ビーシュマは言った。「（その務め／その人）に常に仕えよ。それこそまことに最上の功徳である。そうすれば、王の中の最勝者よ、汝は善き名声と福徳と誉れ、そして吉祥なる諸世界（来世）を得るであろう。」

Educational Q&A
Steady, continual practice of the prescribed duty—expressed as faithful service/attendance—is presented as the highest form of merit, yielding both ethical fruits (puṇya) and social-spiritual fruits (kīrti, yaśas, and auspicious lokas).
In the Śānti Parva instruction, Bhīṣma continues advising the king (Yudhiṣṭhira) on righteous conduct and the fruits of disciplined adherence to duty, emphasizing that consistent service and practice lead to lasting honor and beneficial outcomes in this life and beyond.
