Bhishma berkata: “Dalam keadaan demikian, berkhidmatlah kepada jiwa-jiwa agung yang tidak pernah puas dengan pergaulan orang saleh—yang dipimpin oleh autoriti tradisi suci (āgama), yang hidup dalam rasa cukup, dan yang memandang dharma semata-mata sebagai yang tertinggi. Dekatilah mereka dan bertanyalah untuk meleraikan keraguanmu.”
