ဘီရှ္မက ပြောသည်— «သားရေ၊ ဤသည်မှာ နတ်မျိုးဆက်ဖြစ်ပြီး ရှင်တော်များ၏ မျိုးဆက်နှင့် ပေါင်းစည်းထားသည်။ နေ့၏ သုံးဆုံချိန် (မနက်၊ မွန်းတည့်၊ ညနေ) တွင် ရွတ်ဖတ်လျှင် အညစ်အကြေးကို ဖယ်ရှားသော အမြင့်မြတ်ဆုံးအရာ ဖြစ်လာသည်။ ဤစည်းကမ်းတကျ သတိရခြင်းကြောင့် သိသိသာသာဖြစ်စေ မသိမသာဖြစ်စေ ကျူးလွန်သော အပြစ်တို့မှ သန့်စင်ကာ အမြဲတမ်း သန့်ရှင်းနေ၏»။

Educational Q&A

Bhishma teaches that disciplined daily recitation—specifically at the three sandhyā times—of sacred genealogical lists of gods and sages functions as a powerful means of inner purification, removing moral and ritual defilement (kalmaṣa) and supporting steady ethical clarity.

In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma addresses the listener as “son” and recommends a concrete practice: reciting the combined divine and seer lineages three times daily, presenting it as an authoritative dharmic method for cleansing sins and maintaining purity.
