Indra-vijaya Upākhyāna and Śalya’s Assurance to Yudhiṣṭhira (इन्द्रविजयोपाख्यानम् — शल्ययुधिष्ठिरसंवादः)
आख्यानमिन्द्रविजयं य इदं नियत: पठेत् । धूतपाप्मा जितस्वर्ग: परत्रेह च मोदते,जो पुरुष नियमपरायण हो इस इन्द्रविजय नामक उपाख्यानका पाठ करता है, वह पापरहित हो स्वर्गपर विजय पाता तथा इहलोक और परलोकमें भी सुखी होता है
ākhyānam indravijayaṃ ya idaṃ niyataḥ paṭhet | dhūtapāpmā jitasvargaḥ paratreha ca modate ||
戒めを守り、規律をもって「インドラの勝利」と名づけられたこの物語を誦する者は、罪垢を払い清められる。天界に勝利を得て、この世にも来世にも歓喜して住まう。

Educational Q&A
Disciplined engagement with a dharmic narrative—here, the ‘Indravijaya’ episode—purifies the mind and conduct (symbolized as removal of sin) and leads to well-being in both present life and the hereafter.
Śalya concludes the episode with a phalaśruti: he states the spiritual and ethical benefits promised to a person who recites this ‘Indra’s Victory’ account with self-restraint and regular observance.
