Bhīṣma’s Śara-śayyā Stuti to Vāsudeva and Yogic Preparation for Dehotsarga
Body-Relinquishment
अभिगम्य तु योगेन भक्ति भीष्मस्य माधव: । त्रैलोक्यदर्शन ज्ञानं दिव्यं दत््वा ययौ हरि:
abhigamya tu yogena bhaktiṃ bhīṣmasya mādhavaḥ | trailokyadarśana-jñānaṃ divyaṃ datvā yayau hariḥ ||
Вайшампаяна сказал: Тогда Мадхава (Кришна), силой своей йоги, прозрел преданность Бхишмы. Подойдя к нему, Господь Хари даровал божественное знание, открывающее видение трёх миров, и затем удалился.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
True devotion aligned with dharma becomes a fit vessel for higher knowledge; the Lord’s grace manifests as clarifying insight (divya jñāna) that expands one’s vision beyond immediate suffering to a wider moral and cosmic perspective.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, perceiving Bhīṣma’s devotion through yogic power, approaches him, grants a divine knowledge connected with perceiving the three worlds, and then departs—marking a moment of bestowed spiritual illumination within the Shānti Parva’s reflective setting.
