ဘိဿမက ပြော၏— ထို့နောက် ထိုမီးဖြင့် လောင်ကျွမ်းသဖြင့် မုဆိုးသည် အပြစ်အညစ်အကြေးတို့မှ ကင်းစင်သွား၏။ ထို့နောက် အို ဘာရတဝంశ၏ အမြတ်ဆုံးသူရေ၊ သူသည် အမြင့်ဆုံးသော စိဒ္ဓိ (ဝိညာဉ်ရေး ပြည့်စုံမှု) ကို ရောက်ရှိလေ၏။

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the moral logic of purification: even a wrongdoer (the hunter) can have sins exhausted and be cleansed when karmic consequences and expiatory forces fully mature, leading to a transformed end-state described as 'highest siddhi'.
Bhishma concludes an episode by stating that the hunter was burned in a fire; through that burning his sins were destroyed, and afterward he attained the supreme spiritual accomplishment, as Bhishma addresses Yudhishthira ('best of the Bharatas').
