bhīṣma uvāca | somapo'mṛtapāḥ somaḥ purujit puruṣottamaḥ | vinayo jayaḥ satyasaṃdho dāśārhaḥ sātvatāṃ patiḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「彼はソーマを飲む者、不死の甘露を飲む者、そしてソーマそのもの。多くを征する者にして至上のプルシャ。彼は規律—悪しき者を屈服させ抑え込む者—であり、勝利そのものである。誓願において決して偽らず。ダーシャールハの家系に現れ、サートヴァタ（ヤーダヴァ）たちの主、そして信徒たちの主である。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that divine greatness is not merely power to win (jaya, purujit) but also moral steadiness—truth to one’s vows (satyasaṃdha) and the capacity to discipline and correct wrongdoing (vinaya). Sovereignty is portrayed as ethical governance aligned with dharma.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing Yudhiṣṭhira and reciting a sequence of divine epithets (as in the tradition of the Viṣṇu-sahasranāma). This verse lists several names praising the Lord—linking sacrificial imagery (Soma, amṛta) with kingship, victory, and unwavering truth.
