Praise of Venerating Mother, Father, and Teacher
यश: प्राप्स्यसि भद्रें ते धर्म च सुमहत्फलम् । भरतनन्दन! इसलिये तुम त्रिविध लोकस्वरूप इन तीनोंके प्रति उत्तम बर्ताव करो। तुम्हारा कल्याण हो। ऐसा करनेसे तुम्हें यश और महान् फल देनेवाले धर्म की प्राप्ति होगी
yaśaḥ prāpsyasi bhadre te dharmaṃ ca sumahat-phalam | bharatanandana! tasmāt tvaṃ trividha-loka-svarūpeṣu eṣu triṣu prati uttamaṃ vartasva | tava kalyāṇaṃ bhavatu | evaṃ kṛtvā tvaṃ yaśaḥ prāpsyasi mahad-phala-pradaṃ dharmaṃ ca |
ビーシュマは言った。「汝は名声を得、さらに甚だ大いなる果をもたらすダルマを得るであろう。汝に幸いあれ。ゆえに、バーラタ族の喜びよ、三界の三重の姿を体現するこの三者に対し、最上のふるまいをなせ。福祉は汝のものとなる。かく行ずれば、汝は名声と大果のダルマを得る。」
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that excellent conduct toward the key triad that sustains the world-order leads to both worldly honor (yaśas) and spiritually potent dharma (great-fruit-bearing righteousness).
In Śānti Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma after the war. Here he assures him of fame and great merit if he maintains exemplary behavior toward the ‘three’ that represent the threefold world-order, concluding with a blessing for his welfare.
