Shloka 10
Svargārohaṇa-parva Adhyāya 5 — Karmaphala-Nirdeśa and Phalāśruti (कर्मफलनिर्देशः फलश्रुतिश्च)
मुनि: पुराण: कौरव्य पाराशर्यों महाव्रत: । अगाथबुद्धि: सर्वज्ञो गतिज्ञ: सर्वकर्मणाम्
muniḥ purāṇaḥ kauravya pārāśaryo mahāvrataḥ | agāthabuddhiḥ sarvajño gatijñaḥ sarvakarmaṇām ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。「おお、クル族の裔よ。古の聖仙ヴィヤーサ、パラーシャラの子—大誓願を保ち、測り知れぬ深智を備え、万有を知り、あらゆる行為の究極の帰趨を見通す者—が私にこう告げた。『諸々の英雄は、自らの業の果を味わい尽くしたのち、ついにはそれぞれ本来の姿へと融け帰った。さらに、偉大な光輝と至高の輝きを具えたビーシュマは、再びヴァス（八神）の位へと入った』と。」

Actions (karma) have definite outcomes (gati), and after those results are experienced, beings return to their intrinsic or original state; the verse frames this as a cosmic settling of accounts, witnessed and affirmed by the all-knowing sage Vyāsa.
Vaiśampāyana reports Vyāsa’s authoritative explanation of the heroes’ final destiny: having undergone the consequences of their deeds, they ultimately merge into their primordial identities; specifically, Bhīṣma is said to re-enter the divine class of the Vasus.
