तस्य तापत्रयाभावो वैकुंठे गणता भवेत् । दुःस्वप्नं दुष्टचिंताञ्च दुष्टज्वरपराभवान्
tasya tāpatrayābhāvo vaikuṃṭhe gaṇatā bhavet | duḥsvapnaṃ duṣṭaciṃtāñca duṣṭajvaraparābhavān
त्याच्यासाठी त्रिविध तापांचा अभाव होतो आणि वैकुंठात गणत्व—भगवत्सेवकत्व—प्राप्त होते. दुःस्वप्न, दुष्टचिंता व दुष्ट ज्वर यांचा पराभवही होतो.

FAQs
Devotion yields both worldly relief (health and mental purity) and transcendent reward (Vaikuṇṭha-oriented attainment).
The ongoing māhātmya centers on the Aśvattha as sacred; Vaikuṇṭha is referenced as the spiritual destination (phala), not as the earthly tīrtha.
Implied continuation of Aśvattha worship/service; the verse primarily enumerates results (phala) rather than a new rite.
