Shloka 31
ऋषिर्मेधातिथे: पुत्र: कण्वो बर्हिषदस्तथा । ब्रह्मतेजोमया: सर्वे कीर्तिता लोकभावना:
ṛṣir medhātitheḥ putraḥ kaṇvo barhiṣadas tathā | brahma-tejomayāḥ sarve kīrtitā loka-bhāvanāḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「また、メーダーティティの子カンヴァ仙、そしてバルヒシャドも名に加えられる。これらの聖者はみな、梵（ブラフマン）の輝きに満ち、世界を支え、生成の営みに益をもたらす者として讃えられている。」

Educational Q&A
The verse honors sages as ‘brahma-tejomaya’—those whose inner discipline and spiritual realization generate a radiance that benefits society. Ethical authority is grounded not in power or birth alone, but in tapas, learning, and the capacity to uphold the world through dharmic influence.
Bhishma continues a catalog of eminent ṛṣis, naming Kaṇva (son of Medhātithi) and Barhiṣad, and characterizing the entire group as world-sustainers endowed with Brahmanic splendor.
