Adhyāya 70: Sātyaki’s Arrow-Display and the Bhūriśravas Engagement; Twilight Withdrawal
ब्रह्मभूतममावास्यां पौर्णमास्यां तथैव च । योगभूतं परिचरन् केशवं महदाप्लुयात्,जो मनुष्य तपस्यामें तत्पर हो संयम-नियमका पालन करते हुए अमावास्था और पूर्णिमाको समस्त देहधारियोंके आश्रय, ब्रह्म एवं योगस्वरूप भगवान् केशवकीः आराधना करता है, वह परम पदको प्राप्त कर लेता है
brahmabhūtam amāvāsyāṁ paurṇamāsyāṁ tathaiva ca | yogabhūtaṁ paricaran keśavaṁ mahad āpluyāt ||
Bhishma dijo: «En la noche de luna nueva y asimismo en la noche de luna llena, quien es devoto de la austeridad—observando el dominio de sí y votos disciplinados—y adora a Keshava, refugio de todos los seres encarnados y de naturaleza Brahman y Yoga, alcanza el estado supremo.»
