Shloka 36
वेद्यं च यद् वेदयते च वेद्यं विधिश्व यश्व श्रयते विधेयम् । धर्मे च वेदे च बले च सर्व चराचरं केशवं त्वं प्रतीहि
vedyaṃ ca yad vedayate ca vedyaṃ vidhiś ca yaś ca śrayate vidheyam | dharme ca vede ca bale ca sarvaṃ carācaraṃ keśavaṃ tvaṃ pratīhi ||
قال بهيشما: «اعلموا بيقين راسخ: ما ينبغي أن يُعرَف، والعارف الذي يسعى لمعرفة ذلك المعروف؛ ومبدأ التشريع (vidhi) نفسه، ومن يلجأ مع ذلك إلى ما شُرِع فعله (vidheya)—كل ذلك قائم في الدارما، وفي الفيدا، وفي القدرة الإلهية. وافهموا أن الكون كله، المتحرك والساكن، ليس إلا كيشافا (كريشنا) نفسه.»

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches a comprehensive theistic vision: the knowable truth, the knower, the scriptural injunction, and the prescribed act—all are ultimately grounded in and pervaded by Keshava. Hence Dharma and Vedic authority culminate in recognizing Krishna as the inner reality of the entire cosmos (carācara).
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhishthira on dharma and higher spiritual understanding. Here he elevates the discussion from ritual and duty to metaphysical assurance, urging unwavering conviction that all categories of knowledge and action, and the whole world itself, are forms of Krishna.
