वैशम्पायन उवाच एतावदुकत्वा वचन भीष्मस्तद्गतमानस: । नम इत्येव कृष्णाय प्रणाममकरोत् तदा
vaiśampāyana uvāca: etāvad uktvā vacanaṃ bhīṣmas tad-gata-mānasaḥ | nama ity eva kṛṣṇāya praṇāmam akarot tadā ||
វៃសម្បាយនៈបាននិយាយថា៖ បន្ទាប់ពីនិយាយត្រឹមនេះ ប៊ីṣ្មៈ—ដោយចិត្តទាំងមូលផ្ដោតលើព្រះកृषṇ—ក្រោយពេលបញ្ចប់ការសរសើរនោះ បានបញ្ចេញពាក្យថា «នមៈ ដល់ព្រះកृषṇ» ហើយបានកោតគោរពដោយការក្រាប។
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
That true understanding culminates in humility and devotion: after speaking, Bhīṣma’s mind rests in Kṛṣṇa, and he seals his words with reverent surrender (namaḥ) expressed through praṇāma.
Vaiśampāyana narrates to Janamejaya that Bhīṣma, having finished his preceding praise/instruction, becomes inwardly absorbed in Kṛṣṇa and then formally salutes Him by saying “namaḥ (to) Kṛṣṇa” and bowing.
