Shloka 22
Umā’s Inquiry and the Manifestation of the Third Eye (उमा–प्रश्नः तृतीयनेत्रोत्पत्तिः)
यश्चेदं पाण्डवाख्यानं पठेत् पर्वणि पर्वणि । स देवलोकं सम्प्राप्य नन्दने स सुखी वसेत्
yaś cedaṃ pāṇḍavākhyānaṃ paṭhet parvaṇi parvaṇi | sa devalokaṃ samprāpya nandane sa sukhī vaset |
بھیشم نے کہا—اے پاندو نندن! جو ہر پَروَن کے دن اس پاندَو آکھ्यान کی تلاوت کرتا ہے، وہ دیولोक کو پہنچتا ہے؛ نندن وَن میں جا کر وہ خوشی سے سکونت اختیار کرتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
Regular recitation of the Pāṇḍavas’ story is presented as a dharmic practice that generates puṇya, culminating in a blessed destiny—attainment of devaloka and joyful residence in Indra’s Nandana grove.
Bhīṣma concludes with a phalaśruti-style assurance: he states the spiritual reward for one who repeatedly reads/recites this Pāṇḍava narrative on each parvan (sacred occasion), promising heavenly attainment and happiness in Nandana.
