Educational Q&A
Those grounded in austerity, fortitude, and Vedic-discernment treat ṛṣi-origin sacred utterance as authoritative because it is understood as the proclamation of Self-realized insight, not merely a human composition.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and right knowledge, Bhīṣma explains how wise ascetics evaluate the status of sacred speech: they accept ‘ārṣa’ revelation as the utterance of realized seers, thereby establishing a basis for scriptural authority.
