Shloka 46
Śrāddha-Kalpa: Pitṛ-Pūjā and Tithi-Phala (श्राद्धकल्पः पितृपूजा च तिथिफलम्)
अग्नीषोमात्मकमिदं सुवर्ण विद्धि निश्चये
agnīṣomātmakam idaṃ suvarṇa viddhi niścaye
ビーシュマは言った。「この黄金は、まさしくアグニ（火神）とソーマの本性より成るものだと、確かに知れ。」この教えにおいて黄金は単なる金属ではなく、聖なる宇宙原理に象徴的に根ざす実体として示され、聞く者に、貪欲ではなく敬虔と識別の心をもってこれを観ずるよう促している。

Educational Q&A
Gold should be understood through a dharmic lens: it is linked to sacred cosmic forces (Agni and Soma), so it deserves respectful, restrained, and purposeful use rather than being treated as an object of mere attachment or exploitation.
In Bhishma’s instruction (Anushasana Parva), he explains the deeper nature of substances relevant to dharma and ritual life; here he characterizes gold as ‘Agni–Soma in essence,’ grounding its value in sacred symbolism.
