वैशंपायन उवाच
इत्य् उक्त्वान्तर्दधे धर्मो भगवांल् लोकभावनः ॥
समेताः पाण्डवाश् चैव सुखसुप्ता मनस्विनः ॥
अभ्येत्य चाश्रमं वीराः सर्व एव गतक्लमाः ॥
आरणेयं ददुस् तस्मै ब्राह्मणाय तपस्विने ॥
इदं समुत्थानसमागमं महत्; पितुश् च पुत्रस्य च कीर्तिवर्धनम् ॥
पठन् नरः स्याद् विजितेन्द्रियो वशी; सपुत्रपौत्रः शतवर्षभाग् भवेत् ॥
न चाप्य् अधर्मे न सुहृद्विभेदने; परस्वहारे परदारमर्शने ॥
कदर्यभावे न रमेन् मनः सदा; नृणां सदाख्यानम् इदं विजानताम् ॥
vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca
ity uktvāntardadhe dharmo bhagavāṃl lokabhāvanaḥ ||
sametāḥ pāṇḍavāś caiva sukhasuptā manasvinaḥ ||
abhyetya cāśramaṃ vīrāḥ sarva eva gataklamāḥ ||
āraṇeyaṃ dadus tasmai brāhmaṇāya tapasvine ||
idaṃ samutthānasamāgamaṃ mahat; pituś ca putrasya ca kīrtivardhanam ||
paṭhan naraḥ syād vijitendriyo vaśī; saputrapautraḥ śatavarṣabhāg bhavet ||
na cāpy adharme na suhṛdvibhedane; parasvahāre paradāramarśane ||
kadaryabhāve na ramen manaḥ sadā; nṛṇāṃ sadākhyānam idaṃ vijānatām ||
Having said this, the blessed Dharma, creator of the world, vanished. The Pandavas, as if well rested from sleep, gathered together, came to the hermitage without fatigue, and gave the fire-sticks to that ascetic brahmin. Whoever reads this great tale of the rising and the meeting of father and son, which increases fame, will become master of his senses, self-controlled, blessed with sons and grandsons, and will share in a hundred years of life. For those who know this good narrative, the mind will not delight in unrighteousness, in breaking with friends, in stealing what belongs to others, in touching another's wife, or in miserliness.

The fruit of hearing this story is stated in moral terms: the tale is meant to wean the mind away from unrighteousness. The account of the yaksha's questions is not mere wisdom but a guard for the heart.
