Shloka 6
मुच्यते सर्वपापेभ्य: कीर्तयन् वै शुचि: सदा । नानधो न बधिर: काले कुरुते स्वस्तिमान् सदा
mucyate sarvapāpebhyaḥ kīrtayan vai śuciḥ sadā | nāndho na badhiraḥ kāle kurute svastimān sadā ||
Sinabi ni Bhīṣma: “Ang patuloy na bumibigkas (at nagpapahayag) ng salinlahi ng mga diyos at ng mga ṛṣi ay napapalaya sa lahat ng kasalanan at nananatiling dalisay magpakailanman. Sa takdang panahon, hindi siya nagiging bulag o bingi; sa halip, lagi siyang tumatanggap ng kagalingan.”

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that sustained recitation/praise—especially of sacred lineages and traditions—functions as a discipline of remembrance that purifies the practitioner, removes accumulated sin, and yields lasting well-being, even expressed as protection from decline of the senses (blindness/deafness).
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising on dharma and religious observances. Here he states the फल (result) of regularly reciting sacred genealogies/traditions: purification, release from sins, and auspicious welfare.
