भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse presents an ethical ideal where inner discipline (conquering anger), universal goodwill (suhṛt), and beneficence (sukhadaḥ) coexist with strength (vīrabāhuḥ) used to protect dharma (vidāraṇaḥ). True power is shown as restrained, compassionate, and directed against unrighteousness rather than driven by personal rage.
Bhīṣma is reciting a sequence of exalted epithets describing the supreme being’s qualities—pleasant presence, subtle nature, noble speech, kindness to all, and the capacity to destroy adharma. The passage functions as devotional praise and moral instruction through divine attributes.
