पापात्म-धर्मात्म-लक्षणम् तथा निर्वेदेन मोक्षमार्गः | Marks of the Sinful and the Righteous; Dispassion (Nirveda) as a Path to Liberation
एवं स गौतम: पुत्र प्रीतिहर्षगुणैर्युत: । अभिनन्द्य महाप्राज्ञ इदे वचनमब्रवीत्,महामते! इस प्रकार प्रेम और हर्षसे भरे हुए गौतमने पुत्रका अभिनन्दन करके यह बात कही--
evaṁ sa gautamaḥ putra prīti-harṣa-guṇair yutaḥ | abhinandya mahāprājña idaṁ vacanam abravīt mahāmate ||
ビーシュマは語った。かくして、愛情と歓喜の徳に満ちた大賢者ガウタマは、子をねんごろに迎え、そして大いなる心の者よ、次の言葉を述べた——正しい行いと識別に根ざす教誡の端緒として。
भीष्म उवाच
The verse highlights the ethical tone for instruction: counsel should arise from goodwill—affection and joy—so that guidance is offered with warmth, respect, and wisdom rather than harshness or pride.
Bhishma narrates that the sage Gautama, pleased and affectionate, welcomes his son and then begins to speak—introducing the next segment of advice or teaching that follows.
