Shloka 101
Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
अत्र ते संशयो मा भूउज्ञानं सांख्यं परं मतम् । अक्षरं ध्रुवमेवोक्तं पूर्ण ब्रह्म सनातनम्
atra te saṁśayo mā bhūd ajñānaṁ sāṅkhyaṁ paraṁ matam | akṣaraṁ dhruvam evoktaṁ pūrṇaṁ brahma sanātanam ||
Bhīṣma dit : «Qu’il n’y ait ici aucun doute en toi. La doctrine suprême est la sagesse du Sāṅkhya, qui dissipe l’ignorance. En elle sont proclamés l’Imperissable et l’Immuable — en vérité, le Brahman total et éternel lui-même.»

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).
