भवानेवंविधो<स्माकं संशयं छेत्तुमरहति । अमूढश्चिरमूढानां लोकतत्त्वमजानताम्
bhavānevamvidho 'smākaṃ saṃśayaṃ chettum arhati | amūḍhaś ciramūḍhānāṃ lokatattvam ajānatām ||
Hanya orang bijak seperti Anda yang layak memutus keraguan kami; sebab kami telah lama terjerat kebingungan dan tidak memahami hakikat tatanan dunia—ketidakpastian orang seperti kami hanya dapat disingkirkan oleh seorang yang tak tersesat dan sungguh mengetahui seperti Anda.

Educational Q&A
True understanding (loka-tattva) dispels doubt; those who are clear-minded and knowledgeable are uniquely qualified to guide the long-ignorant, and humility is the proper stance of the seeker.
Bhishma addresses a revered interlocutor, acknowledging his own side’s long-standing ignorance and requesting that the wise person remove their uncertainty by explaining the truth of reality and right understanding.
