ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ସେ ସମସ୍ତ ଭୂତଙ୍କର ଈଶ୍ୱର, ଯୋଗୀ, ମୁନି, ଏବଂ ଆତ୍ମାର ମଧ୍ୟ ଆତ୍ମା। ତୁମେ ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଧର; ଏହି କୃଷ୍ଣ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଘ୍ନକୁ ନାଶ କରନ୍ତି।
पितामह उवाच
Recognize Kṛṣṇa as the supreme Lord and inner Self, and therefore cultivate steadiness (sthairya) and confidence that obstacles to dharmic action can be overcome through alignment with him.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs and consoles the listeners by praising Kṛṣṇa’s supreme status and urging them to remain firm, presenting Kṛṣṇa as the remover of all impediments.
