Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
अत्र ते संशयो मा भूउज्ञानं सांख्यं परं मतम् । अक्षरं ध्रुवमेवोक्तं पूर्ण ब्रह्म सनातनम्
atra te saṁśayo mā bhūd ajñānaṁ sāṅkhyaṁ paraṁ matam | akṣaraṁ dhruvam evoktaṁ pūrṇaṁ brahma sanātanam ||
ଏଠାରେ ତୁମର କିଛିମାତ୍ର ସନ୍ଦେହ ନ ହେଉ। ଅଜ୍ଞାନ ନାଶକ ସାଂଖ୍ୟଜ୍ଞାନ ହିଁ ପରମ ମତ। ତାହାରେ ଅକ୍ଷର ଓ ଧ୍ରୁବ—ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ, ସନାତନ ବ୍ରହ୍ମ—ର ହିଁ ପ୍ରତିପାଦନ ହୋଇଛି।

Educational Q&A
Bhishma urges the listener to abandon doubt and recognize Sāṅkhya as a supreme path of discriminative wisdom that removes ignorance by pointing to the imperishable, unchanging, eternal Brahman as the highest reality.
In the instruction-heavy Shānti Parva, Bhishma continues his counsel, reassuring his interlocutor that the teaching being presented is authoritative and culminates in the affirmation of Brahman—described as akṣara (imperishable) and dhruva (unchanging).
