तस्य सौख्यं सुसंपत्तिर्धनं धान्यं भविष्यति । विपुला संततिस्तस्य यशः कीर्तिर्भविष्यति
tasya saukhyaṃ susaṃpattirdhanaṃ dhānyaṃ bhaviṣyati | vipulā saṃtatistasya yaśaḥ kīrtirbhaviṣyati
その者には安楽と円満な繁栄――財宝と豊かな穀物――がもたらされる。さらに子孫は多く、名声と誉れもまた起こるであろう。
Unspecified (verse excerpt provided without surrounding dialogue context)
Concept: Promises of material phala can mask unethical aims; discernment (viveka) is needed to distinguish dharmic merit from transactional temptation.
Application: When offered ‘benefits’ for a questionable act, evaluate the act’s dharmic quality; choose integrity over gain.

It promises worldly well-being: happiness, strong prosperity, material resources (wealth and grain), a flourishing lineage, and lasting reputation.
The language here emphasizes worldly outcomes (artha and social flourishing), typical of phalaśruti-style statements that encourage a practice by describing its benefits.
It frames prosperity and reputation as consequences of meritorious conduct or devotion (implied by the surrounding context), encouraging disciplined, dharmic action that supports both household stability and social esteem.
