Educational Q&A
Bhishma urges Yudhishthira to abandon grief for kinsmen and to cultivate krodha-hīnatā (freedom from anger) and śānti (inner peace). He adds that even a brief account of Krishna’s greatness is enough to orient a noble person toward right understanding and conduct.
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction-setting, Bhishma concludes a praise/teaching about Madhava (Krishna) and turns directly to Yudhishthira with counsel: do not lament for family losses and remain calm and angerless, taking the narrated glory of Krishna as a sufficient moral-spiritual pointer.
