भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhishma urges Yudhishthira to use discriminative knowledge to understand how unethical actions lead to lower destinies, and to recognize that even among non-human births there are distinct outcomes shaped by karma.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues his post-war counsel to Yudhishthira, directing him toward a clear grasp of karmic consequences—especially the downward trajectories associated with harmful conduct and the differentiated fates of beings in animal births.
