Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
एषामेकैकशोडर्थानां सौक्ष्म्यादीनां स्वलक्षणम् | शृणु संसार्यमाणानां पदार्थयदवाक्यत:
eṣām ekaikaśo 'rthānāṁ saukṣmyādīnāṁ svalakṣaṇam | śṛṇu saṁsāryamāṇānāṁ padārthayad avākyataḥ ||
ਭੀਸ਼ਮ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ—ਹੁਣ ਸੌਕ੍ਸ਼ਮ੍ਯ ਆਦਿ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਅਰਥਾਂ ਦੇ, ਇੱਕ-ਇੱਕ ਕਰਕੇ, ਆਪਣੇ-ਆਪਣੇ ਲੱਛਣ ਸੁਣੋ। ਇਹ ਪਦ, ਵਾਕ੍ਯ, ਪਦਾਰਥ ਅਤੇ ਵਾਕ੍ਯਾਰਥ ਦੇ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਖੋਲ੍ਹ ਕੇ ਸਮਝਾਏ ਜਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ।

Educational Q&A
Bhishma introduces a method of precise understanding: concepts like “subtlety” are to be grasped through their individual definitions, and clarified via levels of linguistic meaning—word, sentence, word-meaning, and sentence-meaning.
In the Shanti Parva’s instructional setting, Bhishma signals a transition into detailed exposition, inviting the listener to attend as he explains each concept systematically and defines it distinctly.
