Chapter 34
इस प्रकार श्रीमह्याभारत अनुशासनपर्वके अन्तर्गत दानधर्मपर्वमें वीतहव्यका उपाख्याननागमक तीसवाँ अध्याय पूरा हुआ,सर्वान् देवान् नमस्यन्ति ये चैक वेदमाश्रिता: । श्रद्धधानाश्ष दान्ताश्न दुर्गाण्यतितरन्ति ते
sarvān devān namasyanti ye caika-vedam āśritāḥ | śraddadhānāś ca dāntāś ca durgāṇy atitaranti te ||
Bhīṣma dit : Ceux qui se prosternent devant tous les dieux et prennent refuge dans l’unique Veda, pourvus de foi et de maîtrise de soi, franchissent les passages difficiles et les obstacles périlleux. L’enseignement souligne que la révérence, l’appui sur l’Écriture et une conduite disciplinée, réunis, deviennent le moyen de traverser sans danger les épreuves de la vie.

Educational Q&A
Reverence toward the divine, reliance on Vedic guidance, and inner discipline (faith and self-control) enable a person to overcome dangers and hardships; ethical steadiness is presented as the practical means of ‘crossing’ life’s difficult passages.
Bhīṣma concludes a didactic point within the Anuśāsana Parva’s discourse on dharma, stating that those who are devout, faithful, and self-restrained—grounded in Vedic authority—successfully pass through perilous situations.
