Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
द्विगुणं च रजो ज्ञात्वा सत्त्वमेकगुणं पुन: । मार्ग विज्ञाय तत्त्वेन प्रलये प्रेक्षणे तथा
dviguṇaṁ ca rajo jñātvā sattvam ekaguṇaṁ punaḥ | mārgaṁ vijñāya tattvena pralaye prekṣaṇe tathā ||
ビーシュマは言った。「ラジャスが二様であり、サットヴァはその本質において再び一味であると悟り、また実相に即して真の道を見分け、さらに溶解（プララヤ）の理と内なる観照の修（観想的な省察）を識別するならば、人は感官の対象をその過失とともに裁し、正しい知によって解脱へと向かうことができる。」

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes discriminative knowledge of the guṇas—especially the structure of rajas and sattva—and insists that liberation-oriented practice depends on grasping the true path along with the principles of dissolution (pralaya) and contemplative inner examination (prekṣaṇa).
In Śānti Parva, Bhishma continues his post-war instruction to Yudhishthira, shifting from external duties to inner disciplines: analysis of nature (guṇas), correct discernment of the path, and contemplative insight that supports renunciation and liberation.
