Shloka 33
यथा पाण्डो: सुता राज॑स्तथैव तव धर्मत: । तान् पालय स्थितो धर्मे गुरुशुश्रूषणे रतान्
yathā pāṇḍoḥ sutā rājas tathaiva tava dharmataḥ | tān pālaya sthito dharme guruśuśrūṣaṇe ratān |
Бхишма сказал: «О царь, как они — сыновья Панду, так и по мерилу дхармы они — и твои сыновья. Всегда преданные служению старшим и учителям, они достойны твоей защиты. Потому, твердо стоя в праведности, заботься о них, как о собственных сыновьях».

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that dharma expands kinship and responsibility: a righteous king should regard the Pāṇḍavas as his own in moral duty and protect them, especially since they are devoted to serving elders and teachers.
Bhīṣma addresses a king with ethical counsel, urging him to uphold dharma by fostering and safeguarding the Pāṇḍavas as if they were his own sons, emphasizing their good conduct and devotion to elders.
