आसुरे: प्रथमं शिष्यं यमाहुश्चिरजीविनम् । पजञ्चस्रोतसि य: सत्रमास्ते वर्षमहस्रिकम्,उन्हें आसुरि मुनिका प्रथम शिष्य और चिरंजीवी बताया जाता है। उन्होंने एक हजार वर्षोतक मानस यज्ञका अनुष्ठान किया था
āsureḥ prathamaṃ śiṣyaṃ yam āhuś cirajīvinam | pañca-srotasi yaḥ satram āste varṣa-sahasrikam ||
ဘီရှ္မက ပြောသည်– «သူ့ကို မုနိ အာသုရီ (Āsuri) ၏ ပထမဆုံး တပည့်ဟုလည်း၊ အသက်ရှည်သူဟုလည်း ဆိုကြသည်။ ပဉ္စသ္ရောတသ (Pañcasrotas) တွင် သူသည် စတြ (satra) ဟုခေါ်သော ယဇ္ဉပွဲကို တစ်ထောင်နှစ်တိုင်တိုင် ဆက်လက်ကျင်းပခဲ့သည်»။

The verse highlights the authority of a teacher–disciple lineage and the moral-spiritual weight of sustained Vedic discipline: long, continuous sacrificial observance is presented as a marker of extraordinary commitment and accumulated merit.
Bhīṣma is describing a revered figure by identifying him through his lineage (as Āsuri’s first disciple), his exceptional lifespan, and his famed performance of a thousand-year satra at Pañcasrotas.
