भक्तिमान् यः सदोत्थाय शुचिस्तद्गतमानस: । सहसतं वासुदेवस्य नाम्नामेतत् प्रकीर्तयेत्
bhaktimān yaḥ sadotthāya śucis tadgatamānasaḥ | sahasraṁ vāsudevasya nāmnām etat prakīrtayet ||
毗湿摩说道:凡具虔敬之人,恒于黎明起身,沐浴自净,心神专注于彼,若能如法诵持此《婆苏提婆千名》之颂,便得大名声与人间声望,获稳固之福财,臻至无上安乐。于任何处所,恐惧不生;其人得精力与内在光辉,身健体安,神采焕然,强健俊美,诸德具足。
भीष्म उवाच
Steady devotion expressed through disciplined morning purity and focused remembrance, culminating in the recitation of Vāsudeva’s thousand names, is presented as a powerful dhārmic practice that yields inner fearlessness and comprehensive well-being—ethical excellence, vitality, and stable prosperity.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira by praising the practice of chanting the Vāsudeva-sahasranāma, describing the qualities of the practitioner and the fruits that follow from such devoted recitation.
