Бхишма сказал: «О великий мудрец, всё это свершилось по милости твоей благодати. О досточтимый, чья доблесть утверждена в истине, нет ничего удивительного в том, что в тебе пребывает такая сила: ведь подвижники, подобные тебе, стойкие в сатье, по природе обладают необычайной мощью».

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Bhishma highlights that extraordinary outcomes arise through the grace of a spiritually accomplished person, and that such power is not ‘miraculous’ in a sensational sense but a natural fruit of tapas and steadfast truth. The ethical emphasis is on humility, gratitude, and recognizing spiritual merit as rooted in satya and discipline.

What is happening in the narrative?

Bhishma addresses a great sage with reverence, attributing the successful unfolding of events to the sage’s gracious favor. He then remarks that it is unsurprising for a truth-steadfast ascetic to display such potency, thereby honoring the sage’s spiritual authority.
