Shloka 52
तथा श्वेतं च राजर्षि कीर्तयेत् परमद्युतिम् । सगरस्यात्मजा येन प्लावितास्तारितास्तथा
tathā śvetaṃ ca rājarṣi kīrtayet paramadyutim | sagarasyātmajā yena plāvitās tāritās tathā ||
毗湿摩说：“同样，王者圣贤啊，也当诵念并忆持光辉至极的室吠多（Śveta）。亦当称扬大威德的王圣薄伽罗他（Bhagiratha）：由他使娑伽罗（Sagara）诸子得以沐浴恒河（Gaṅgā）之水，从而获得救度。”

Educational Q&A
The verse commends kīrtana and smaraṇa—praising and remembering exemplary figures—especially those whose tapas and righteous action bring welfare to others, even across generations (as Bhagiratha’s act benefits Sagara’s sons).
Bhishma instructs the listener to include Śveta and Bhagiratha in recitation and remembrance. Bhagiratha is recalled for securing the Gaṅgā’s waters so that Sagara’s sons could be ritually purified and thereby ‘delivered’ from their afflicted state.
