भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः

Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma

जनार्दन! पूछनेपर वे हमें सत्य और हितकर बात बतायेंगे। श्रीकृष्ण! वे जैसा कहेंगे, युद्धमें वैसा ही करूँगा ।।

yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | janārdana! pṛṣṭe te asmān satyaṃ ca hitam ca vakṣyanti | śrīkṛṣṇa! yathā te vakṣyanti yuddhe tathā kariṣyāmi || sa no jayasya dātā syān mantrasya ca dṛḍhavrataḥ | bālāḥ pitrā vihīnāḥ sma tena saṃvardhitā vayam ||

Yudhiṣṭhira dijo: «Janārdana, cuando se le pregunte, nos dirá lo verdadero y lo provechoso. Śrī Kṛṣṇa, lo que él aconseje, así lo haré en esta guerra. Ese firme guardián de sus votos puede ser para nosotros tanto dador de victoria como dador de consejo. Cuando éramos niños y quedamos sin padre, fue él quien nos cuidó y nos crió.»

Educational Q&A

Seek guidance from a morally steadfast elder who speaks what is both true (satya) and beneficial (hita), and respond with disciplined obedience; gratitude toward one’s benefactors remains a dharmic obligation even amid conflict.

Yudhiṣṭhira tells Kṛṣṇa that if Bhīṣma is questioned, he will give truthful and welfare-oriented counsel; Yudhiṣṭhira vows to follow that advice in the war, recalling Bhīṣma’s past role in raising the Pāṇḍavas after they became fatherless.
