Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
अत्र ते संशयो मा भूउज्ञानं सांख्यं परं मतम् । अक्षरं ध्रुवमेवोक्तं पूर्ण ब्रह्म सनातनम्,सांख्यज्ञान सबसे उत्कृष्ट माना गया है। इस विषयमें तुम्हें तनिक भी संशय नहीं होना चाहिये। इसमें अक्षर, ध्रुव एवं पूर्ण सनातन ब्रह्मका ही प्रतिपादन हुआ है
atra te saṁśayo mā bhūd ajñānaṁ sāṅkhyaṁ paraṁ matam | akṣaraṁ dhruvam evoktaṁ pūrṇaṁ brahma sanātanam ||
Bhīṣma said: “Let there be no doubt in you here. The highest doctrine is the wisdom of Sāṅkhya, which dispels ignorance. In it, the Imperishable and the Unchanging are declared—indeed, the complete, eternal Brahman itself.”

Educational Q&A
Bhishma urges the listener to abandon doubt and recognize Sāṅkhya as a supreme path of discriminative wisdom that removes ignorance by pointing to the imperishable, unchanging, eternal Brahman as the highest reality.
In the instruction-heavy Shānti Parva, Bhishma continues his counsel, reassuring his interlocutor that the teaching being presented is authoritative and culminates in the affirmation of Brahman—described as akṣara (imperishable) and dhruva (unchanging).
