Shloka 76
तदेतत् ते समाख्यातं तथ्य॑ ब्रह्म सनातनम् | ह्ृदयं सर्वभूतानां श्रुतिरिषा सनातनी
tad etat te samākhyātaṁ tathyaṁ brahma sanātanam | hṛdayaṁ sarvabhūtānāṁ śrutir iṣā sanātanī ||
Demikianlah telah kukatakan kepadamu kebenaran itu—Brahman yang abadi. Inilah (mantra/ajaran) yang menjadi hati segala makhluk, dan inilah Śruti yang tak lekang oleh waktu.

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma identifies the instruction he has given as the eternal truth of Brahman, presenting it as the inner essence (hṛdaya) of all beings and as timeless Śruti—authoritative revealed wisdom meant to ground one’s dharma in ultimate reality.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s didactic setting, Bhīṣma—speaking as an elder authority—concludes or seals a prior exposition by affirming its Vedic and eternal status, emphasizing that the teaching/mantra he has communicated is not merely advice but a perennial revelation tied to Brahman.
