भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma emphasizes that certain deep questions of dharma and truth cannot be settled by logic alone; they require either divine grace or guidance from authoritative knowledge-bearing scripture/tradition.
Yudhiṣṭhira has posed a very subtle question. Bhīṣma acknowledges its difficulty and warns that reasoning by itself is insufficient, yet he commits to explaining the matter for the king’s benefit.
