Adhyāya 284: Tapas as a Corrective to Household Attachment
Parāśara’s Instruction
प्रसीद मम भद्रें ते भव भावगतस्य मे । त्वयि मे हृदयं देव त्वयि बुद्धिर्मनस्त्वयि
prasīda mama bhadre te bhava bhāvagatasya me | tvayi me hṛdayaṃ deva tvayi buddhir manas tvayi || bhagavan bhava ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຂໍພຣະອົງໂປດເມດຕາຂ້າພະເຈົ້າ; ຂໍໃຫ້ຄວາມດີຈົ່ງເປັນຂອງພຣະອົງ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າມາຫາພຣະອົງດ້ວຍໃຈທີ່ຈົມຢູ່ໃນພັກດີ; ດັ່ງນັ້ນຂໍພຣະອົງພໍໃຈຕໍ່ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າ. ໂອ ພຣະເຈົ້າ! ຫົວໃຈຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຢູ່ໃນພຣະອົງ; ປັນຍາຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຢູ່ໃນພຣະອົງ; ໃຈຂ້າພະເຈົ້າກໍຢູ່ໃນພຣະອົງ».

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches śaraṇāgati (surrender): devotion is not merely verbal praise but the placing of heart, mind, and discernment in the Divine, seeking grace through wholehearted inner alignment.
Bhīṣma addresses the Lord (invoked as Bhava/Śiva) in a direct supplication, asking for favor and declaring total inner dedication—heart, intellect, and mind—signaling a devotional turn within the ethical-discursive setting of the Śānti Parva.
