देवविमान-दर्शनम् / The Celestial Assembly and Vimana Spectacle
Bhīṣma–Arjuna Encounter Framed Cosmically
नैतत् समस्तमुभयं कम्मिंश्रचिदनुशुश्रुम । अन्यत्र भारताचार्यात् सपुत्रादिति मे मति:
naitat samastam ubhayaṁ kasmiṁścid anuśuśruma | anyatra bhāratācāryāt saputrād iti me matiḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「この二つの卓越—その全き姿のまま併せ持つ者が、一人の身にあるとは我らは聞いたことがない。婆羅多の師ドローナと、その子にのみ、梵の霊威と刹の武威（ブラフマンの力とクシャトリヤの力）がともに宿る。彼らを除いて、二徳の合一はどこにもない。これが我が確信である。」

Educational Q&A
Exceptional authority is portrayed as the rare union of brahmanical spiritual power (learning, austerity, sacred legitimacy) and kṣatriya martial power (valor, command). Bhīṣma asserts that such a complete combination is scarcely found, and he locates it uniquely in Droṇa and his son, implying that true supremacy in counsel and combat requires both inner discipline and outer prowess.
In the Virāṭa Parva context, Bhīṣma is assessing and praising the extraordinary capabilities of Droṇa and Aśvatthāmā. He emphasizes that reports and tradition do not attribute the full presence of both spiritual and martial strengths to any other single figure, thereby elevating their status among the Kuru leaders.
