सेन्द्रेषु चैव लोकेषु प्रतिष्ठां विन्दते शुभाम् इह लोके यश: प्राप्प शान्तपाप्मा च मोदते
sendreṣu caiva lokeṣu pratiṣṭhāṁ vindate śubhām | iha loke yaśaḥ prāpya śāntapāpmā ca modate ||
瓦西什塔说道：“在由因陀罗及诸护世者所主宰的诸界中，他获得吉祥的地位与尊荣；而在此世间，他亦得善名，欢喜而住——罪垢平息，心地安宁。”

Right conduct (dharma) yields a double fruit: auspicious honor in higher realms (among Indra and the lokapālas) and, in this world, good reputation and inner peace—described as being ‘śānta-pāpmā’, with sin quieted or removed.
Vasiṣṭha is concluding a merit-fruit statement: he describes the reward that accrues to a person who has followed the prescribed virtuous practice under discussion—social esteem and joy here, and elevated standing in celestial realms beyond.
