Бхишма сказал: «Выслушав слова учеников, Вьяса — сын Парашары, мудрый и праведный, знающий истинный смысл Вед и размышляющий о цели потустороннего — обратился ко всем своим ученикам с речью, согласной с дхармой и направленной к высшему благу.»

Educational Q&A
A teacher’s instruction should be dharmya (aligned with righteousness) and naiḥśreyasa-oriented (aimed at the highest welfare), grounded in true understanding of the Veda and directed toward the student’s lasting good rather than mere worldly gain.
After hearing his disciples’ words, Vyāsa—described as wise, righteous, and a knower of Vedic truth—addresses all of them with beneficial counsel. Bhīṣma reports this as part of the larger Shānti Parva discourse on dharma and right conduct.
