भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma urges disciplined reflection on the cycles and decline inherent in time (months, years, seasons) and on Vedic instruction, so that one develops discernment and fixes one’s dharma without being deluded by transient conditions.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma continues his counsel to Yudhiṣṭhira, pointing to observable patterns of change and passing—seasonal cycles and the waning of time—as contemplative supports for ethical resolve and steadiness in duty.
