आकाशादीरितां दिव्यामात्मनो हितसम्भवाम् | भीष्म भीष्म महाबाहो शीघ्रं यत्नं कुरुष्व वै
ākāśād īritāṃ divyām ātmano hitasambhavām | bhīṣma bhīṣma mahābāho śīghraṃ yatnaṃ kuruṣva vai ||
Sañjaya sprach: „Aus dem Himmel ist ein göttliches Wort erschollen, zu deinem eigenen Heil hervorgebracht. O Bhīṣma—o Bhīṣma, du Mächtigarmiger—eile und setze dich unverzüglich mit ganzer Kraft ein!“

Educational Q&A
When a higher or wiser warning arises for one’s welfare, a leader should respond with prompt, disciplined effort; delay in dharmic action can magnify harm in a crisis.
Sañjaya reports that a celestial proclamation has been heard from the sky and urgently addresses Bhīṣma, urging him to act quickly and make immediate effort in response to that divine message.
