Educational Q&A
Bhishma defines an eternal, universal Dharma as a set of inner and outer virtues—non-violence, truth, freedom from anger, austerity, generosity, self-restraint, clear understanding, non-fault-finding, and freedom from envy—taught by Brahmā; abiding in these leads to genuine welfare.
In the Shanti Parva instruction to King Yudhiṣṭhira after the war, Bhishma continues his discourse on righteous living, listing foundational virtues and grounding them in divine authority by attributing them to Brahmā as the eternal Dharma.
