एकान्तिधर्म-प्रश्नः (Inquiry into Ekāntin Dharma) / The Origin and Practice of Single-Pointed Nārāyaṇa-Centered Discipline
ततः प्रवर्तिता सम्यक् तपोविद्धिर्द्धिजातिभि: । शब्दे चार्थ च हेती च एषा प्रथमसर्गजा,तब उन तपस्वी ब्राह्मणोंने शब्द, अर्थ और हेतुसे युक्त वाणीका प्रयोग किया। यह उनकी प्रथम रचना थी
tataḥ pravartitā samyak tapoviddhir dvijātibhiḥ | śabde cārthe ca hetau ca eṣā prathamasargajā ||
ビーシュマは語った。「それより後、苦行の規律に立脚する“二度生まれ”の聖仙たちは、正しく真の修行法を起動させた。ついで彼らは、音と義と理を備えた、整った言葉を用いた。これは宇宙秩序の黎明に生まれた最初の創成（あるいは最初の定式化）である。すなわち、真実と目的にかなう、規律ある明晰な言語の運用であった。」

Educational Q&A
Right practice and right speech must be disciplined and complete: speech should unite śabda (well-formed expression), artha (clear meaning), and hetu (sound reasoning). Such speech supports dharma because it is truthful, purposeful, and intelligible rather than impulsive or deceptive.
Bhishma describes an early, foundational development: ascetic, learned twice-born sages establish proper tapas-based discipline and then articulate a model of ideal speech—language that is structured by sound, conveys meaning, and is supported by reason—presented as a primordial or first formulation in the order of creation.
