Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma asserts that the highest, widely attested wisdom—whether expressed in Vedic revelation, Sāṅkhya analysis, Yogic discipline, or Purāṇic narratives—ultimately derives from Sāṅkhya, presenting it as a foundational framework for understanding reality and guiding liberation-oriented ethics.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction to the king after the war, Bhīṣma continues his philosophical counsel, emphasizing the authority and centrality of Sāṅkhya as a root-source behind multiple respected bodies of teaching.
