विष्णुमेवाभिजानन्ति सर्वयज्ञेषु ब्राह्मणा:
viṣṇum evābhijānanti sarvayajñeṣu brāhmaṇāḥ
Bhīṣma berkata: Dalam setiap upacara korban suci, para Brahmana pada akhirnya mengenali Viṣṇu semata-mata sebagai tujuan sejati pengetahuan dan pemujaan—Tuhan batiniah, tempat segala persembahan dan makna ritual akhirnya berhimpun.
भीष्म उवाच
All Vedic sacrifices, though diverse in form and deities invoked, culminate in the recognition of Viṣṇu as the ultimate recipient and inner reality of yajña; ritual is thus oriented toward a single supreme principle.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and right understanding, Bhīṣma teaches that learned Brahmanas, when they grasp the true purport of sacrificial rites, identify Viṣṇu as the final focus behind all yajñas.
