Bhīṣma’s Śara-śayyā Stuti to Vāsudeva and Yogic Preparation for Dehotsarga
Body-Relinquishment
अभिगम्य तु योगेन भक्ति भीष्मस्य माधव: । त्रैलोक्यदर्शन ज्ञानं दिव्यं दत््वा ययौ हरि:
abhigamya tu yogena bhaktiṃ bhīṣmasya mādhavaḥ | trailokyadarśana-jñānaṃ divyaṃ datvā yayau hariḥ ||
វៃសម្បាយណៈបាននិយាយថា៖ បន្ទាប់មក មាធវៈ (ព្រះក្រឹષ્ણ) ដោយអំណាចយោគរបស់ព្រះ បានដឹងច្បាស់ពីសេចក្តីភក្តីរបស់ភីស្មៈ។ ព្រះហរិ—ព្រះអម្ចាស់—បានចូលទៅជិតគាត់ ហើយប្រទានចំណេះដឹងទេវីយ៍ ដែលបើកឲ្យយល់ឃើញអំពីលោកទាំងបី; រួចហើយព្រះបានចាកចេញទៅ។

True devotion aligned with dharma becomes a fit vessel for higher knowledge; the Lord’s grace manifests as clarifying insight (divya jñāna) that expands one’s vision beyond immediate suffering to a wider moral and cosmic perspective.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, perceiving Bhīṣma’s devotion through yogic power, approaches him, grants a divine knowledge connected with perceiving the three worlds, and then departs—marking a moment of bestowed spiritual illumination within the Shānti Parva’s reflective setting.
