प्रादुर्भूतो5स्मि ते मित्र सुहृत्त्वंच मम त्वयि । सो<हं तथा यतिष्यामि भविष्यसि यथार्थवान्
prādurbhūto ’smi te mitra suhṛttvaṃ ca mama tvayi | so ’haṃ tathā yatiṣyāmi bhaviṣyasi yathārthavān ||
ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ— ହେ ମିତ୍ର, ମୁଁ ତୋ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରକଟ ହୋଇଛି, ଏବଂ ତୋ ପ୍ରତି ମୋର ସୌହାର୍ଦ୍ୟ ବଢ଼ିଛି। ତେଣୁ ମୁଁ ଏମିତି ପ୍ରୟାସ କରିବି ଯେ ତୁ ନିଶ୍ଚୟ ଅର୍ଥସିଦ୍ଧି (ଇଚ୍ଛିତ ପ୍ରୟୋଜନ) ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ କରିବୁ।

Educational Q&A
Ethical guidance is grounded in goodwill: a true well-wisher does not merely express friendship but undertakes concrete effort so the other person attains artha—real, rightful benefit and stability in life.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction-setting, Bhishma addresses the listener as a friend, declares his benevolent intent, and promises to exert himself in teaching and guidance so that the listener may attain meaningful success (artha).
