वेदांश्व॒ यो वेदयते5धिदेवो विधींश्व यश्चाश्रयते पुराणान् । कामे वेदे लौकिके यत्कलं च विष्वक्सेन: सर्वमेतत् प्रतीहि
vedāṁś ca yo vedayate ’dhidevo vidhīṁś ca yaś cāśrayate purāṇān | kāme vede laukike yat-kalaṁ ca viṣvaksenaḥ sarvam etat pratīhi ||
ビーシュマは言った。「たとえ神々の神であっても、彼はヴェーダを学び、プラーナ(Purāṇa)に伝わる古の規定に依り拠る。欲に動かされて行う儀礼—ヴェーダのものでも世俗のものでも—そこから生ずる果報のすべては、ついにはシュリー・クリシュナ(ヴィシュヴァクセーナ)ただ一人に帰する、と堅く知れ。」
भीष्म उवाच
That the ultimate ground and giver of all results—whether from Vedic rites or worldly actions, especially desire-driven (kāmya) pursuits—is Śrī Kṛṣṇa (Viṣvaksena). Therefore one should place trust in the supreme source rather than in ritual mechanics alone.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and right orientation of religious life. Here he emphasizes Kṛṣṇa’s supremacy: even scriptural study and ancient ordinances point back to Him as the final basis of all karmic outcomes.
