भीष्म उवाच एतदुक्तं परं ब्रह्म यस्मान्नावर्तते पुनः । पज्चविंशो महाराज परमर्षिनिदर्शनात्
bhīṣma uvāca etad uktaṃ paraṃ brahma yasmān nāvartate punaḥ | pañcaviṃśo mahārāja paramarṣinidarśanāt ||
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ນີ້ແມ່ນສິ່ງທີ່ໄດ້ປະກາດໄວ້ວ່າເປັນ ພຣະພຣະຫມັນສູງສຸດ; ເມື່ອໄດ້ບັນລຸແລ້ວ ບໍ່ຫວນກັບມາອີກ. ໂອ ມະຫາກະສັດ, ນີ້ແມ່ນຫຼັກການທີ່ຊາວສະຫລາດສູງສຸດໄດ້ສະແດງໄວ້—ເປັນຫຼັກທີ່ຍີ່ສິບຫ້າ»។
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhishma identifies the Supreme Brahman as the liberating reality: attaining it ends return to repeated worldly existence. He further frames it as the ‘twenty-fifth’ principle, aligning the teaching with a tattva-based (Sāṅkhya-like) enumeration recognized by the highest sages.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhishma continues a philosophical exposition on ultimate reality and liberation, citing the authority of great seers and presenting Brahman as the final goal beyond rebirth.
