भीष्म म्हणाले— हे पार्थ! चंद्र व सूर्य, ग्रह, नक्षत्र व तारे; अमावास्येचे विधी आणि पौर्णिमेचे व्रत; नक्षत्रयोग आणि ऋतू—हे सर्व विष्वक्सेन (श्रीकृष्ण) यांच्यापासूनच उत्पन्न झाले आहे.

Educational Q&A
That the entire structure of cosmic order—celestial bodies and the calendrical-sacrificial rhythms (new-moon/full-moon rites, seasonal cycles, stellar configurations)—derives from the supreme Lord (Viśvaksena). This supports a dharmic outlook in which sacred time and duty are rooted in a divine source.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhishma continues instructing Arjuna on dharma and devotion. Here he enumerates cosmic elements and ritual time-markers, attributing their origin to Viśvaksena, thereby reinforcing the Lord’s supremacy and the sanctity of the cosmic-ritual order.
