चतुर्णामपि वर्णानामाश्रमस्य विशेषत: । करोति सतत शान्तिं सावित्रीमुत्तमां पठन्,जो उत्तम गायत्री-मन्त्रका जप करता है, वह पुरुष चारों वर्णों और विशेषतः चारों आश्रमोंमें सदा शान्ति स्थापन करता है
caturṇām api varṇānām āśramasya viśeṣataḥ | karoti satataṃ śāntiṃ sāvitry-uttamāṃ paṭhan ||
毗湿摩说道:“若恒常持诵至上的娑维特丽(Sāvitrī,即伽耶特丽真言),则一人能为四姓(varṇa)建立长久的安宁,尤其能为四住期(āśrama)之制安立太平。”

Regular recitation of the Sāvitrī/Gāyatrī is presented as a dhārmic discipline that generates śānti (inner and social peace), supporting the harmony of both varṇa-dharma (social duties) and āśrama-dharma (life-stage duties).
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues his instruction on dharma, highlighting the ethical and stabilizing power of sacred Vedic practice—here, the continual recitation of the Sāvitrī (Gāyatrī) as a means to sustain peace across society and the āśrama system.
