त्वयीष्टवति पुत्रे5हं हरिश्वन्द्रवदाशु वै । मोदिष्ये बहुला: शश्व॒त् समा: शक्रस्य संसदि

那罗陀说道：“当那场祭祀因你这般的儿子而依正法圆满完成时，我也将很快——如同哈利施旃陀罗王一般——在因陀罗的天界会座中，享受经年累月、长久不息的欢悦。”

The verse highlights the traditional ethic that properly completed sacrificial duty (yajña), especially supported by a worthy son, generates merit that yields exalted rewards—symbolized by joy in Indra’s court—while invoking Hariścandra as an exemplar of sacrificial steadfastness.
Nārada addresses someone praised as a capable son, stating that once the intended sacrifice is successfully completed through him, Nārada himself expects to attain swift and long-lasting enjoyment in Indra’s celestial assembly, comparable to the famed reward associated with King Hariścandra.
