Shloka 30
Adhyāya 6: Kaṅka (Yudhiṣṭhira) Seeks Refuge in Virāṭa’s Assembly
मत्प्रसादाच्च ते सौख्यमारोग्यं च भविष्यति । ये च संकीर्तयिष्यन्ति लोके विगतकल्मषा:
matprasādāc ca te saukhyam ārogyaṃ ca bhaviṣyati | ye ca saṃkīrtayiṣyanti loke vigatakalmaṣāḥ ||
Sa aking pagpapala, darating sa iyo ang ligaya at mabuting kalusugan. At yaong mga tao sa daigdig na magpupuri rito sa pamamagitan ng pagbigkas at pagpupugay ay mapapawi sa kasalanan at sa anumang dungis ng asal.

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes the transformative power of grace and remembrance: divine or authoritative favor brings well-being (happiness and health), and sincere proclamation/recitation of sacred narrative purifies the reciter, removing moral impurity (kalmaṣa).
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, reports a boon-like assurance: the recipient will gain happiness and health through the speaker’s favor, and a wider benefit is promised for future listeners/reciters—those who publicly recount and praise the account will be cleansed of sin.
