भवानेवंविधो<स्माकं संशयं छेत्तुमरहति । अमूढश्चिरमूढानां लोकतत्त्वमजानताम्
bhavānevamvidho 'smākaṃ saṃśayaṃ chettum arhati | amūḍhaś ciramūḍhānāṃ lokatattvam ajānatām ||
Бхишма сказал: «Мудрец, подобный тебе, поистине достоин рассечь наши сомнения. Ибо мы долго пребывали в заблуждении, не ведая истинных законов мира; лишь незаблуждающийся знающий, как ты, способен устранить неуверенность людей вроде нас».

Educational Q&A
True understanding (loka-tattva) dispels doubt; those who are clear-minded and knowledgeable are uniquely qualified to guide the long-ignorant, and humility is the proper stance of the seeker.
Bhishma addresses a revered interlocutor, acknowledging his own side’s long-standing ignorance and requesting that the wise person remove their uncertainty by explaining the truth of reality and right understanding.
