Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 43
Adhyāya 60: Dāna vs. Yajña—Royal Giving, Protection, and Karmic Share
ततो युधिष्ठिर: प्राह पाण्डवान् पुरुषर्षभ । पितामहस्य यद् वाक्यं तद् वो रोचत्विति प्रभु:
tato yudhiṣṭhiraḥ prāha pāṇḍavān puruṣarṣabha | pitāmahasya yad vākyaṃ tad vo rocatv iti prabhuḥ ||
ထို့နောက် ယုဓိဋ္ဌိရက ပाण्डဝတို့အား ပြောသည်– “လူတို့အနက် နွားထီးကဲ့သို့ မြတ်သောသူတို့၊ ပိတামဟ (ဘီရှ္မ) ၏ စကားသည် သင်တို့အား နှစ်သက်ဖွယ် ဖြစ်ပါစေ။ ထိုစကားကို လက်ခံကြလော့။”

Educational Q&A
Dharmic instruction should be received with reverence and a willing mind—especially when it comes from an elder and moral authority like Bhīṣma; Yudhiṣṭhira urges assent rather than resistance.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Yudhiṣṭhira turns to his brothers and encourages them to accept and approve the counsel given by the grandsire Bhīṣma, setting a tone of respectful listening to ethical guidance.
