श्रेयो-धर्मकर्मविचारः
Inquiry into Śreyas, Dharma, and Karma
प्रजाविसर्ग च सुखेन काले प्रत्येत्य देवेषु सुखानि भुक्त्वा । सुखेन संयास्यथ सिद्धसंख्यां मा वो भयं भूद् विमला: स्थ सर्वे
prajāvisargaṃ ca sukhena kāle pratyetya deveṣu sukhāni bhuktvā | sukhena saṃnyāsyatha siddhasaṃkhyāṃ mā vo bhayaṃ bhūd vimalāḥ stha sarve ||
ビーシュマは言った。「時至れば、汝らは喜びのうちに子孫をもうけ、この世を去って神々の国に至り、天上の楽を味わうであろう。そののち、たやすく捨離して成就を得、シッダ（成就者）の列に数えられる。恐れを心に起こしてはならぬ——安んじておれ。汝らは皆、清浄にして罪なき者たちなのだから。」

Educational Q&A
Bhishma affirms a dharmic life-sequence: fulfill household responsibilities (including procreation) at the proper time, attain heavenly results through merit, and ultimately move toward renunciation and spiritual perfection—therefore the listeners should be free of fear because their conduct is pure.
In Shanti Parva, Bhishma is instructing and consoling his audience with a promise of auspicious outcomes: they will live rightly, reach the gods’ realms, and later attain the status of Siddhas; he explicitly removes their anxiety by declaring them stainless and sinless.
