Shloka 56
व्याधिप्रशमन श्रेष्ठ पौष्टिक सर्वकर्मणाम् । प्रयत: कीर्तयेच्चैतान् कल्यं सायं च भारत
vyādhi-praśamana-śreṣṭhaṁ pauṣṭikaṁ sarva-karmaṇām | prayataḥ kīrtayec caitān kalyaṁ sāyaṁ ca bhārata ||
毗湿摩说道：“此忆念之行，为息病之最胜法，亦能滋养并坚固一切所作。故婆罗多啊，当以自持与清净之心，于晨与昏诵念这些名号——忆持诸神圣、诸仙圣与统御大地之王。如此反复之颂赞（kīrtana），于一切众生最为吉祥、最能净化；由此不断行之，诸病灭尽，而于诸般职责皆得卓越与善护。”

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that disciplined, regular remembrance/recitation (kīrtana)—especially done morning and evening with a purified mind—brings auspiciousness, purifies the practitioner, supports the successful performance of duties, and is even described as a foremost means for alleviating disease.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhishma is instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and right conduct. Here he recommends a daily regimen of reciting and honoring revered beings (deities, seers, and exemplary rulers), presenting it as both spiritually purifying and practically beneficial for one’s life and responsibilities.
