Adhyāya 70: Sātyaki’s Arrow-Display and the Bhūriśravas Engagement; Twilight Withdrawal
एवमेनं विजानीहि आचार्य पितरं गुरुम् । कृष्णो यस्य प्रसीदेत लोकास्तेनाक्षया जिता:
evam enaṃ vijānīhi ācārya pitaraṃ gurum | kṛṣṇo yasya prasīdet lokās tenākṣayā jitāḥ ||
このように彼を知れ――汝の師として、父として、敬うべき長老として。クリシュナ（Kṛṣṇa）が嘉（よみ）する者は、その恩寵によって、滅びることなき確かな勝利をもって諸世界を得る。

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that rightful recognition and reverence toward one’s ācārya/guru (as teacher and father) is integral to dharma, and that true, lasting victory is grounded not merely in force but in the favor (prasāda) of Kṛṣṇa—symbolizing divine sanction and moral alignment.
Bhīṣma, speaking within the Bhīṣma Parva’s war-context, urges the listener to understand a particular revered figure as an ācārya, father, and guru, and then asserts a broader principle: whoever gains Kṛṣṇa’s pleasure attains an inexhaustible conquest of the worlds—i.e., enduring success and legitimacy.
