भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse functions as a transition: it closes a summarized account of “characteristics/signs” explained with reference to nakṣatra-combinations, and emphasizes ethical pedagogy through proper transmission—knowledge is received from an authoritative sage (Nārada) and then responsibly communicated (by Devakī) to the next generation within the household.
Bhīṣma concludes a brief description of certain “signs/characteristics” tied to nakṣatra-yogas, then introduces the next speech: Devakī, having been instructed by the sage Nārada, addresses her daughters-in-law with the forthcoming teaching.
