श्रेयो-धर्मकर्मविचारः
Inquiry into Śreyas, Dharma, and Karma
प्रजाविसर्ग च सुखेन काले प्रत्येत्य देवेषु सुखानि भुक्त्वा । सुखेन संयास्यथ सिद्धसंख्यां मा वो भयं भूद् विमला: स्थ सर्वे
prajāvisargaṃ ca sukhena kāle pratyetya deveṣu sukhāni bhuktvā | sukhena saṃnyāsyatha siddhasaṃkhyāṃ mā vo bhayaṃ bhūd vimalāḥ stha sarve ||
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໃນການເວລາອັນຄວນ, ພວກເຈົ້າຈະໃຫ້ກໍາເນີດລູກຫຼານດ້ວຍຄວາມສຸກ, ແລ້ວຈາກໂລກນີ້ໄປສູ່ໂລກເທວະດາ ແລະເສບສຸກອັນສະຫວັນ. ຕໍ່ຈາກນັ້ນ ພວກເຈົ້າຈະສະຫຼະອອກດ້ວຍຄວາມງ່າຍ ໄດ້ບັນລຸຄວາມສໍາເລັດ (ສິດທິ) ແລະຖືກນັບເຂົ້າໃນຫມູ່ສິດທະ. ຢ່າໃຫ້ຄວາມຢ້ານກົວເກີດຂຶ້ນໃນພວກເຈົ້າ—ຈົ່ງໝັ້ນໃຈ, ເພາະພວກເຈົ້າທຸກຄົນບໍລິສຸດ ແລະບໍ່ມີບາບ.»
भीष्म उवाच
Bhishma affirms a dharmic life-sequence: fulfill household responsibilities (including procreation) at the proper time, attain heavenly results through merit, and ultimately move toward renunciation and spiritual perfection—therefore the listeners should be free of fear because their conduct is pure.
In Shanti Parva, Bhishma is instructing and consoling his audience with a promise of auspicious outcomes: they will live rightly, reach the gods’ realms, and later attain the status of Siddhas; he explicitly removes their anxiety by declaring them stainless and sinless.
