Sacred knowledge is preserved and made efficacious through authorized hearing (śravaṇa) and faithful transmission: what is heard from divine or reliable sources should be recited onward to rightful recipients (here, the Pitṛs), sustaining dharma across generations.
Bhīṣma describes a foremost sage who, after hearing a sacred account of greatness from the gods, recites it so that the Pitṛs may hear it—linking divine revelation to ancestral tradition and ritual memory.
