Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Anushasana Parva Chapter 149 · Verse 45
Sanskrit Original
मुच्यते सर्वपापेभ्यः स्वस्तिमांश्च गृहान् व्रजेत्॥ दीक्षाकालेषु सर्वेषु यः पठेन्नियतो द्विजः। न्यायवानात्मनिरतः क्षान्तो दान्तोऽनसूयकः॥ रोगार्तो व्याधियुक्तो वा पठन् पापात् प्रमुच्यते। वास्तुमध्ये तु पठतः कुले स्वस्त्ययनं भवेत्॥ क्षेत्रमध्ये तु पठतः सर्वे सस्यं प्ररोहति। गच्छतः क्षेममध्वानं ग्रामान्तरगतः पठन्॥
Purged of every sin, such men take birth in auspicious families. That twiceborn person who, with controlled serises, recites these names on ccasions of performing the initiatory rites of sacrifices and other religious practices, becomes as the outcome thereof, gifted with righteousness, devoted to the study of the soul, possessed of forgiveness, and selfcontrol, and free from malice. If a man suffering from disease recites them, he becomes freed from his sin in the form of disease.
