Bhīṣma’s Dream-Counsel and the Prasvāpa Astra (भीष्मस्वप्नदर्शनम् / प्रस्वापास्त्रोपदेशः)
ततो<पश्यत् पितरं जामदग्न्यः पितुस्तथा पितरं चास्य मान्यम् | ते तत्र चैनं परिवार्य तस्थु- रूचुश्नैनं सान्त्वपूर्व तदानीम्,इसके बाद जमदग्निकुमार परशुरामने अपने पिता जमदग्निको तथा उनके भी माननीय पिता ऋचीक मुनिको देखा। वे सब पितर उन्हें चारों ओरसे घेरकर खड़े हो गये और उस समय उन्हें सान्त्वना देते हुए बोले
tato 'paśyat pitaraṃ jāmadagnyaḥ pituḥ tathā pitaraṃ cāsya mānyam | te tatra cainaṃ parivārya tasthuḥ r̥cūśnainaṃ sāntvapūrvaṃ tadānīm ||
それからジャーマダグニャ（パラシュラーマ）は、父ジャーマダグニと、さらに父の父である尊き聖仙リーチーカを見た。彼らはその場で四方から彼を取り囲んで立ち、そのとき慰めの言葉をもって彼に語りかけた。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical role of elders and ancestors in calming and guiding a powerful individual: when emotions surge, dharma is protected by restraint (śama) and by heeding wise, compassionate counsel rather than acting impulsively.
Bhīṣma narrates that Paraśurāma encounters his father Jamadagni and his revered grandfather Ṛcīka; they gather around him and speak soothingly, attempting to console and steady him in that tense moment.
