मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
मेने दिविष्ठमात्मानं तुष्टया परमया युत:ः । शुद्ध अन्तःकरणवाले उन ऋषि-मुनियोंकी बातें सुनकर भीष्मजी बहुत संतुष्ट हुए और अपनेको स्वर्गमें ही स्थित मानने लगे
Vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca: mene divi-stham ātmānaṃ tuṣṭyā paramayā yutaḥ.
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ດ້ວຍຄວາມພໍໃຈອັນສູງສຸດ ພີສະມະເຫັນຕົນເອງດັ່ງຢູ່ໃນສະຫວັນແລ້ວ. ເມື່ອໄດ້ຟັງຖ້ອຍຄໍາອັນບໍລິສຸດຈາກໃຈຂອງພຣະລິສີທັງຫຼາຍ ທ່ານກໍເກີດຄວາມຊື່ນບານຢ່າງລຶກຊຶ້ງ.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Supreme contentment (paramā tuṣṭi) born of purified understanding and the guidance of sages can make one feel 'heaven-established'—pointing to an ethical ideal where inner clarity and dharmic insight yield peace independent of external circumstances.
As Vaiśaṃpāyana narrates, Bhīṣma listens to the words of sages/ṛṣis; their pure and elevating counsel leaves him profoundly satisfied, and he comes to regard himself as already dwelling in heaven.
