Yajña-bhāga-vyavasthā and the Pravṛtti–Nivṛtti Framework (यज्ञभागव्यवस्था तथा प्रवृत्तिनिवृत्तिधर्मविवेचनम्)
ब्रह्मलोके निवासं यो ध्रुवं समभिकाडुक्षते । 'शिष्यगण! जो ब्रह्मलोकमें अटल निवास चाहता हो, उसका कर्तव्य है कि वह पढ़नेकी इच्छासे आये हुए ब्राह्मणको सदा ही वेद पढ़ावे || ४३ $ || भवन्तो बहुला: सन्तु वेदो विस्तार्यतामयम्
brahmaloke nivāsaṁ yo dhruvaṁ samabhikāṅkṣate | śiṣyagaṇāḥ! yo brahmaloke ’calanivāsaṁ icchati, tasya kartavyaṁ yat sa adhyayanecchayāgatam brāhmaṇaṁ sadā vedaṁ pāṭhayet ||
ビーシュマは言った。「ブラフマローカにおける揺るぎない住処を確かに望む者は、これを務めとせよ――学ばんとする志をもって来たバラモンに、つねにヴェーダを教えること。おお弟子たちよ、汝らは多くあれ、そしてこのヴェーダは広く弘まれ。」

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that a sure path to exalted posthumous attainment (Brahmaloka) is the sustained duty of transmitting sacred knowledge: one should consistently teach the Veda to a worthy Brahmin student who approaches with genuine intent to learn. The ethical emphasis is on generosity in knowledge and preservation of tradition.
In Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma, Bhishma addresses learners and frames Vedic teaching as a meritorious obligation. He exhorts the students to multiply and urges that the Veda be widely disseminated, presenting education as a sacred social responsibility.
