भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that disciplined living—mastery of senses and anger, restraint in sexuality and appetite, faithful performance of Vedic fire-offerings, and regular sandhyā worship—purifies a person like the sky and makes their inner and outer radiance shine like the sun, leading to exalted post-mortem attainment (heavenly, god-like state).
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma continues instructing King Yudhishthira on dharma. Here he praises the regulated, ritually grounded life of a self-controlled practitioner, describing its visible signs (purity and radiance) and its promised result (reaching heaven, becoming like an immortal).
