Tapas-bala and karmic ascent across yoni
इदमन्यत्तु वक्ष्यामि प्रमाणं विधिनिर्मितम् । पुराणमृषिभिर्जुष्टं वेदेषु परिनिष्ठितम्
idam anyat tu vakṣyāmi pramāṇaṁ vidhinirmitam | purāṇam ṛṣibhir juṣṭaṁ vedeṣu pariniṣṭhitam ||
এতিয়া মই এই বিষয়ত আন এটা প্ৰমাণ ক’ম—যি বিধি অনুসাৰে স্বয়ং ব্ৰহ্মাই প্ৰতিপাদিত, প্ৰাচীন, ঋষিসকলৰ দ্বাৰা সমাদৃত আৰু বেদত দৃঢ়ভাৱে প্ৰতিষ্ঠিত।

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma frames his next instruction as a pramāṇa—an authoritative validation—rooted in ancient tradition, endorsed by ṛṣis, and ultimately grounded in the Vedas, emphasizing that dharma should be supported by recognized scriptural and sage-backed authority.
In the Anuśāsana discourse, Bhīṣma signals a transition: he is about to present an additional supporting authority for his teaching, citing an ancient, Brahmā-ordained tradition that the sages have upheld and that stands established within the Vedic corpus.
