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 |
அவர் நோயற்றவர், அறிவுடையவர், வலிமையும் அழகிய உருவமும் உடையவர் ஆவார். நோயாளி நோயிலிருந்து விடுபடுவான்; கட்டுப்பட்டவன் கட்டிலிருந்து விடுபடுவான்.

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.
