Shloka 30
धर्म एव गतिस्तेषामाचार्योपासनाद् भवेत् | देवलोकं प्रपद्यन्ते ये धर्म पर्युपासते,आचार्यकी सेवा करनेसे मनुष्योंको एकमात्र धर्मका ही सहारा रहता है और जो धर्मकी उपासना करते हैं, वे देवलोकमें जाते हैं
dharma eva gatis teṣām ācāryopāsanād bhavet | devalokaṁ prapadyante ye dharmaṁ paryupāsate ||
Bhishma dijo: «Para tales personas, mediante la devota asistencia al maestro, el Dharma por sí solo se vuelve su verdadero refugio y su rumbo guía. Quienes cultivan y veneran firmemente el Dharma alcanzan el mundo de los dioses».

Educational Q&A
Service and reverent attendance to one’s teacher (ācāryopāsanā) strengthens and anchors a person in Dharma; steadfast practice of Dharma is presented as the decisive support and the cause of attaining devaloka.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma is instructing Yudhishthira on conduct and duties. Here he emphasizes the ethical and spiritual fruit of honoring the teacher and consistently upholding Dharma, linking it to a higher posthumous destination (devaloka).
