इमां ज्वरोत्पत्तिमदीनमानस: पठेत् सदा य: सुसमाहितो नर: । विमुक्तरोग: स सुखी मुदा युतो लभेत कामान् स यथामनीषितान्,जो उदारचित्त एवं एकाग्र होकर ज्वरकी उत्पत्तिसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाली इस कथाको सदा पढ़ता है, वह मनुष्य रोगमुक्त, सुखी एवं प्रसन्न होकर मनोवांछित कामनाओंको प्राप्त कर लेता है
imāṁ jvarotpattim adīna-mānasaḥ paṭhet sadā yaḥ susamāhito naraḥ | vimukta-rogaḥ sa sukhī mudā yuto labheta kāmān sa yathā-manīṣitān ||
Sinabi ni Bhīṣma: “Ang sinumang may pusong bukás at hindi nanlulumo, at may matatag na pagtuon, na palagiang bumibigkas o nagbabasa ng salaysay na ito hinggil sa paglitaw ng lagnat, ay magiging malaya sa karamdaman; mamumuhay siyang masaya at may galak, at matatamo ang mga hangaring kaniyang naisip nang wasto.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steady-minded, regular recitation of a sacred/meaningful narrative—done with concentration and without dejection—is presented as a disciplined practice that supports freedom from illness, inner joy, and the attainment of one’s intended aims.
Bhīṣma concludes a section about the origin of fever with a phalaśruti (statement of benefits), declaring that one who continually recites this account with focused attention becomes disease-free, happy, and successful in obtaining desired goals.
