Adhyāya 284: Tapas as a Corrective to Household Attachment

Parāśara’s Instruction

भूतात्मा भूतकृद्धूतो भूतभव्यभवोद्धव: । भूर्भुव: स्वरितश्वैव ध्रुवो दान्तो महेश्वर:

bhūtātmā bhūtakṛd dhūto bhūtabhavyabhavodbhavaḥ | bhūr bhuvaḥ svaritaś caiva dhruvo dānto maheśvaraḥ ||

قال بيشما: أنتَ الذاتُ الباطنةُ في جميع الكائنات وخالقُ الكائنات؛ أنتَ الطاهرُ الذي لا يتزعزع، ومنك ينبثق الماضي والمستقبل والحاضر. أنتَ Bhūḥ وBhuvaḥ وSvaḥ—العوالم الثلاثة؛ أنتَ الثابتُ (Dhruva)، والكابحُ لنفسه (Dānta)، والربُّ العظيم (Maheśvara). وفي هذا المقطع ذي النبرة الترتيلية يبيّن بيشما أسمى الرؤية الأخلاقية في شانتِي بارفا: إن الدارما تقوم على إدراك حقيقةٍ عليا واحدة تسند الحياة والزمن، وعلى تنمية الثبات وضبط النفس انسجامًا معها.

Educational Q&A

The verse teaches a unitive vision: the supreme Lord is the inner Self of all beings and the source of time and worlds. Ethical life in Śānti Parva is grounded in this recognition, expressed as steadiness (dhruvatā) and self-restraint (dānta).

In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma after the war. Here he speaks in a hymn-like mode, enumerating divine epithets to describe the supreme reality that underlies creation and moral order.
