Shloka 126
यशः प्राप्नोति विपुलं ज्ञातिप्राधान्यमेव च । अचलां श्रियमाप्रोति श्रेय: प्राप्रोत्यनुत्तमम्
yaśaḥ prāpnoti vipulaṁ jñāti-prādhānyam eva ca | acalāṁ śriyam āpnoti śreyaḥ prāpnoty anuttamam || yo bhaktimān puruṣaḥ sadā prātaḥ-kāle utthāya snātvā pavitraḥ san manasā viṣṇuṁ dhyāyan idaṁ vāsudeva-sahasra-nāma suṣṭhu paṭhati, sa mahad yaśaḥ prāpnoti, jātiṣu māhātmyaṁ prāpnoti, acalāṁ sampattiṁ prāpnoti, ati-uttamaṁ kalyāṇaṁ prāpnoti; tasya ca kvacid bhayaṁ na bhavati | sa vīryaṁ tejaś ca prāpnoti, ārogyavān kāntimān balavān rūpavān sarva-guṇa-sampannaś ca bhavati ||
毗湿摩说道：其人得丰盛之名声，亦在宗亲之中居于显要。又获不动之福财与无上之善。那虔敬之人，于黎明起身，沐浴自净，继而心念毗湿奴，如法诵持此《婆苏提婆千名》之赞，便得大名与族中荣誉，获稳固之财富与最胜之安乐；于任何处所，恐惧不生。其人得精力与内在光辉，身健神朗，强健俊美，诸德圆满。

Educational Q&A
Steady devotion expressed through disciplined daily practice—purifying oneself at dawn, meditating on Vishnu, and reciting the Vishnu Sahasranama—cultivates both inner excellence (fearlessness, vigor, radiance, virtues) and outer well-being (repute, social standing, stable prosperity).
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhishthira on dharma and religious observances. Here he describes the fruits (phalaśruti) of reciting the Thousand Names of Vasudeva, presenting it as a powerful devotional discipline that yields comprehensive welfare.
