Bhīṣma’s Yogic Departure, Royal Cremation, and Gaṅgā’s Lament (भीष्मस्य योगयुक्त्या देहत्यागः, पितृमेधः, गङ्गाविलापः)
एष तस्यानवद्यस्य नारदस्य महात्मन: । संदेशो देवपूजार्थ तं तथा कुरु पाण्डव,पाण्डुनन्दन! उन अनिन्द्य महात्मा देवर्षि नारदजीका ही यह संदेश है कि महादेवजीकी पूजा करनी चाहिये। इसलिये तुम भी ऐसा ही करो
eṣa tasyānavadyasya nāradasya mahātmanaḥ | saṃdeśo devapūjārtha taṃ tathā kuru pāṇḍava, pāṇḍunandana ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ນີ້ແມ່ນຂໍ້ຄວາມຂອງນາຣະດະ ມະຫາຕະມະ ຜູ້ບໍ່ມີມົນທິນ ທີ່ມອບໄວ້ເພື່ອການບູຊາເທວະ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ໂອ ປານດະວະ—ໂອ ລູກຂອງປານດຸ—ຈົ່ງເຮັດຕາມນັ້ນເຖີດ»។

Educational Q&A
One should follow the guidance of a blameless, spiritually authoritative sage and engage in proper worship (devapūjā) as a dharmic duty; reverence and obedience to righteous instruction are emphasized.
Bhīṣma, instructing the Pāṇḍava (Yudhiṣṭhira), relays Nārada’s directive: the message is specifically aimed at promoting worship of the deity, and Bhīṣma urges Yudhiṣṭhira to act accordingly.
