Educational Q&A

Bhīṣma frames ethical instruction through remembrance of Kṛṣṇa’s māhātmya: dharma is strengthened when one attends to exemplars of divine protection, right action, and the sacred authority preserved by learned tradition.

In the Śānti Parva dialogue, Bhīṣma addresses Yudhiṣṭhira and transitions into recounting the celebrated qualities and deeds of Kṛṣṇa, described as the bearer of the Śārṅga bow, as known in Brahminical/learned circles.
