यथा समुद्रो भगवान् यथा हि हिमवान् गिरि: । ख्यातावुभौ रत्ननिधी तथा भारतमुच्यते

Educational Q&A
The Mahābhārata is presented as a vast repository of precious moral and spiritual instruction—its teachings are ‘jewels’ to be sought, valued, and applied in life.
In the closing context of the Svargārohaṇa Parva, Vaiśampāyana offers a laudatory reflection on the Mahābhārata itself, comparing it to the ocean and the Himalaya—both famed as sources of treasures—to emphasize the epic’s richness in counsel and dharma.
