अत्र ते संशयो मा भूउज्ञानं सांख्यं परं मतम् । अक्षरं ध्रुवमेवोक्तं पूर्ण ब्रह्म सनातनम्
atra te saṁśayo mā bhūd ajñānaṁ sāṅkhyaṁ paraṁ matam | akṣaraṁ dhruvam evoktaṁ pūrṇaṁ brahma sanātanam ||
ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನಗೆ ಯಾವ ಸಂಶಯವೂ ಇರಬಾರದು. ಅಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ನಿವಾರಿಸುವ ಸಾಂಖ್ಯಜ್ಞಾನವೇ ಪರಮ ಮತ. ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಅಕ್ಷರ, ಧ್ರುವ—ಅಂದರೆ ಪೂರ್ಣ, ಸನಾತನ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನೇ—ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

Bhishma urges the listener to abandon doubt and recognize Sāṅkhya as a supreme path of discriminative wisdom that removes ignorance by pointing to the imperishable, unchanging, eternal Brahman as the highest reality.
In the instruction-heavy Shānti Parva, Bhishma continues his counsel, reassuring his interlocutor that the teaching being presented is authoritative and culminates in the affirmation of Brahman—described as akṣara (imperishable) and dhruva (unchanging).
