Shloka 10
त॑ ममानुग्रहकृते दातुमर्हस्यनिन्दित । अनुशासन्तु मां सनन््तो मिथ्योद्वृत्तं त्वदाश्रयम्
taṁ mamānugrahakṛte dātum arhasy anindita | anuśāsantu māṁ santaḥ mithyodvṛttaṁ tvadāśrayam ||
Bhishma berkata: “Wahai yang tak bercela, demi menunjukkan kasih karunia kepadaku, patutlah engkau menganugerahkan anugerah ini. Jika suatu saat aku, berlindung padamu, menyimpang ke dalam laku yang palsu dan menyimpang, maka biarlah orang-orang saleh menasihati, menegur, dan meluruskanku kembali ke jalan dharma.”

Educational Q&A
A dharmic person should actively seek correction: if one deviates into false conduct, the virtuous should be welcomed as guides who admonish and restore one to the right path.
Bhishma voices a request framed as a boon: he asks that, should he ever go astray while relying on the addressed noble person, the righteous community (santaḥ) may instruct and correct him.
