Durgātitaraṇa—Conduct for Crossing Difficulties (दुर्गातितरणम्)
य एनं संश्रयन्तीह भक्ता नारायणं हरिम् । ते तरन्तीह दुर्गाणि न चात्रास्ति विचारणा
ya enaṁ saṁśrayantīha bhaktā nārāyaṇaṁ harim | te tarantīha durgāṇi na cātrāsti vicāraṇā ||
ଏହି ଲୋକରେ ଯେ ଭକ୍ତମାନେ ହରି-ନାରାୟଣଙ୍କ ଶରଣ ନେନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ ଦୁର୍ଗମ ସଙ୍କଟମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ତରିଯାନ୍ତି; ଏଥିରେ କୌଣସି ସନ୍ଦେହ ନାହିଁ।

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches śaraṇāgati (taking refuge): sincere devotees who rely on Nārāyaṇa/Hari are enabled to overcome even severe dangers and hardships; the statement is presented as certain and not merely speculative.
In the Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and the means to peace and welfare; here he emphasizes devotion to Nārāyaṇa as a reliable support that carries devotees through life’s crises.
