Bhīṣma generalizes a principle: the same kind of causal reasoning used “here” should be applied across other domains of inquiry—both to knowledge (jñāna) and to what is known (jñeya).
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma continues instructing Yudhiṣṭhira by extending an argument from the immediate topic to broader philosophical questions, emphasizing consistent causal explanation.
