Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 81
भृगुका नाम लेनेसे धर्मकी वृद्धि होती है। वसिष्ठ मुनिको नमस्कार करनेसे वीर्य बढ़ता है। राजा रघुको प्रणाम करनेवाला क्षत्रिय संग्रामविजयी होता है तथा अश्विनीकुमारोंका नाम लेनेवाले मनुष्यको कभी रोग नहीं सताता
bhīṣma uvāca | bhṛgūṇāṃ nāma grahaṇena dharmasya vṛddhir bhavati | vasiṣṭha-muneḥ namaskāreṇa vīryaṃ vardhate | rājā raghuṃ praṇamya kṣatriyaḥ saṅgrāma-vijayī bhavati | aśvinī-kumārayor nāma grahaṇena manuṣyaṃ kadācid rogo na bādhate |
Sinabi ni Bhishma: Sa pagbigkas ng pangalan ng mga Bhṛgu, lumalago ang dharma. Sa pagyukod at pagpupugay kay Vasiṣṭha, dumarami ang sigla at lakas. Ang kṣatriya na nagbibigay-galang kay Haring Raghu ay nagiging matagumpay sa digmaan. At ang taong tumatawag sa mga Aśvinīkumāra ay hindi dinadalaw ng karamdaman. Itinuturo rito na ang mapitagang pag-alaala sa mga huwarang rishi at sa mga banal na manggagamot ay daan sa paglinang ng kabutihan, lakas, tagumpay, at kalusugan.

Educational Q&A
Reverent remembrance—through reciting revered names and offering salutations—cultivates specific virtues and protections: dharma through the Bhṛgus, vigor through honoring Vasiṣṭha, martial success through homage to Raghu, and freedom from disease through invoking the Aśvins.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction (anuśāsana), he lists exemplary figures—sage-lineages, a royal ideal, and divine physicians—and states the fruits (phala) gained by honoring them, presenting a practical ethic of devotion and emulation.
