Atithi-prāpti and the Brāhmaṇa’s Deliberation on Triadic Dharma (अतिथिप्राप्तिः धर्मत्रयविचारश्च)
भवत्यरोगो मतिमान् बलरूपसमन्वित: । आतुरो मुच्यते रोगाद् बद्धो मुच्येत बन्धनात्
vaiśampāyana uvāca | bhavaty arogo matimān balarūpasamanvitaḥ | āturo mucyate rogād baddho mucyeta bandhanāt |
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「これを日々誦する者は、まず主に礼拝し、心を専一にして読誦するならば、聡明となり、力と端正な姿を備え、病を離れる。病む者は病より解き放たれ、縛られた者は束縛より解き放たれる。」
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steady, reverent recitation with concentration—preceded by salutation to the Lord—is presented as a dharmic discipline whose fruit is the easing of suffering: it grants clarity of mind and vigor, and symbolically and literally ‘releases’ one from illness and bondage.
In Vaiśampāyana’s narration, this verse functions as a phalaśruti (statement of benefits), promising auspicious results to those who regularly listen to or recite the preceding teaching with devotion and one-pointed attention.
