Bhishma disse: Sentados ali, os dois começaram a narrar e a ouvir histórias sagradas — relatos ligados a feitos meritórios, conforme ensinados por rishis divinos e grandes sábios.

Educational Q&A
Dharma is strengthened not only by ritual purity and disciplined conduct but also by attentive engagement with time-tested sacred narratives. Stories transmitted by seers and sages function as ethical instruction, shaping character and guiding right action.
After completing their observances, two individuals sit down and begin to tell and hear traditional sacred stories—accounts associated with meritorious deeds and taught by divine seers and great sages—creating a setting of reflective, dharma-oriented discourse.
