Adhyāya 325: Nārada in Śvetadvīpa—Stotra to the Nirguṇa Mahātman
मोक्षधर्मेषु कुशलो भगवान प्रब्रवीतु मे । यथा मे मनस: शान्ति: परमा सम्भवेत् प्रभो
mokṣadharmeṣu kuśalo bhagavān prabravītu me | yathā me manasaḥ śāntiḥ paramā sambhavet prabho ||
ビーシュマは言った。「解脱の修法に通暁する世尊よ、どうか私をお教えください。わが心に最高の寂静が生じますように、主よ。」

Educational Q&A
The verse frames mokṣa-dharma as a practical discipline: liberation-oriented teaching is sought not as theory but to generate ‘paramā śānti’—the highest inner peace. It emphasizes humility before a qualified spiritual authority and the ethical aim of calming and purifying the mind.
In the Mokṣa-dharma section of Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma addresses a revered ‘Bhagavān’ and requests instruction in liberation-teachings, explicitly stating his goal: the arising of supreme mental peace.
