Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
दोषाणां च गुणानां च प्रमाणं प्रविभागत: । कंचिदर्थमभिप्रेत्य सा संख्येत्युपधार्यताम्
doṣāṇāṃ ca guṇānāṃ ca pramāṇaṃ pravibhāgataḥ | kaṃcid artham abhipretya sā saṃkhyety upadhāryatām ||
ចូរកំណត់មាត្រដ្ឋានត្រឹមត្រូវនៃកំហុស និងគុណធម៌ ដោយបែងចែកចាត់ថ្នាក់យ៉ាងប្រុងប្រយ័ត្ន។ ដោយមានគោលបំណងណាមួយជាមូលដ្ឋាន ចូរធ្វើការវាយតម្លៃនោះដោយរាប់បញ្ជី ហើយយល់ឲ្យច្បាស់លាស់។

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that moral evaluation should not be vague or impulsive: one should distinguish virtues and faults by clear criteria, classify them, and assess them proportionately with a definite purpose in view.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising on dharma and right conduct, emphasizing a methodical way to judge actions and qualities—by differentiating, measuring, and weighing merits and defects toward an intended ethical end.
