आधेयं तु मया भूयो यशस्तव महाद्ुते । ततो मे विपुला बुद्धिस्त्वयि भीष्म समर्पिता,महातेजस्वी भीष्म! मुझे इस जगत्में आपके महान् यशकी प्रतिष्ठा करनी है, अतः मैंने अपनी विशाल बुद्धि आपको समर्पित की है
ādheyaṁ tu mayā bhūyo yaśas tava mahādyute | tato me vipulā buddhis tvayi bhīṣma samarpitā ||
Wahai Bhīṣma yang bercahaya agung, aku harus lagi menegakkan dan memelihara kemasyhuranmu yang besar di dunia ini. Maka aku telah menyerahkan kepadamu kebijaksanaan dan kecerdasan yang luas milikku.
वायुदेव उवाच
True renown (yaśas) is not mere praise but the public establishment of a life aligned with dharma; wisdom and authority are to be entrusted to a worthy elder so that righteous example is preserved and made effective in the world.
Vāyudeva addresses Bhīṣma, declaring an intention to further secure Bhīṣma’s great reputation and, to accomplish that, symbolically entrusts his own expansive intelligence to Bhīṣma—affirming Bhīṣma’s stature as a vessel of counsel and moral authority in the Śānti Parva discourse.
