Shloka 13
मातापितृगुरुपूजा-प्रशंसा
Praise of Venerating Mother, Father, and Teacher
न चायं न परो लोकस्तस्य चैव परंतप । अमानिता नित्यमेव यस्यैते गुरुवस्त्रय:,शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले नरेश! जिसने इन तीनों गुरुजनोंका सदा अपमान ही किया है, उसके लिये न तो यह लोक सुखद है और न परलोक
na cāyaṁ na paro lokas tasya caiva parantapa | amānitā nityam eva yasyaite guravas trayaḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「敵を焼き尽くす者よ。これら三つの尊ぶべき権威（師長）を常に侮り、敬わぬ者には、この世にも安楽はなく、来世にもまた安楽はない。」
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Persistent disrespect toward one’s rightful ‘gurus’ (venerable authorities) ruins both worldly welfare and spiritual/afterlife good. Reverence is presented as a foundation for dharmic character and lasting well-being.
In Shanti Parva, Bhishma instructs the king (addressed as ‘parantapa’) on dharma and proper conduct. Here he warns that one who habitually dishonours the three revered guides (guravaḥ trayaḥ) finds no happiness either in this life or the next.
