ビーシュマは言った。「人はあらゆる罪から解き放たれる。すなわち、自らの行いより生じた罪も、他者の行いとの交わりによって負った罪も、すべてである。かくして、神々のうちに語られる四つの『類』は説き明かされた。朝に起きてこれらの神々を讃嘆し唱える者は、自ら作った罪であれ、他者との接触によって得た罪であれ、積もり積もった罪の全体から解放される。」

Educational Q&A
Regular morning remembrance and praise of the described deities is presented as a purifying discipline that frees a person from sins arising from one’s own actions and from moral taint acquired through association with others.
Bhishma concludes a prior description of a fourfold classification among deities and states the fruit (phala) of reciting their praise at dawn: release from the accumulated burden of sin, including that gained through contact with others.
