Shloka 60
कल्यमुत्थाय यो नित्य॑ संध्ये द्वेडस्तमयोदये । पठेच्छुचिरनावृत्त: स धर्मफलभाग् भवेत्
kalyam utthāya yo nityaṃ sandhye dve astaṃ-udaye | paṭhec chucir anāvṛttaḥ sa dharma-phala-bhāg bhavet ||
Bhīṣma berkata: “Sesiapa yang bangun awal setiap hari dan, dalam keadaan suci tanpa ternoda, membaca pada dua waktu sandhyā—ketika matahari terbit dan ketika matahari terbenam—(nama-nama suci itu), maka dia menjadi peserta dalam buah dharma.”

Educational Q&A
Daily discipline at the two sandhyās—sunrise and sunset—combined with purity and reverent recitation of dharmic exemplars makes one a participant in the merit (dharma-phala) generated by righteous remembrance and alignment with moral order.
Bhīṣma, instructing on dharma in the Anuśāsana Parva, concludes a long enumeration of renowned kings and states the benefit: one who rises early, remains pure, and recites these names at morning and evening sandhyā gains a share in the fruits of dharma.
