Shloka 30
पुण्यं त्रिलोकविख्यातं सर्वपापहरं शिवम् | हिमवानू् पर्वतश्चैव दिव्यौषधिसमन्वित:
bhīṣma uvāca | puṇyaṃ trilokavikhyātaṃ sarvapāpaharaṃ śivam | himavān parvataś caiva divyauṣadhisamanvitaḥ ||
पुण्यं त्रिलोकविख्यातं सर्वपापहरं शिवम् । हिमवान् पर्वतश्चैव दिव्यौषधिसमन्वितः ॥ एतत् स्मृत्वा नमस्कृत्वा मङ्गलं धर्मसंश्रयम्; शुद्धिं रक्षां च वाञ्छामि, पापतापविनाशनम् ॥

Remembering and invoking what is universally ‘auspicious’ (śiva) and morally purifying (sarva-pāpa-hara) is presented as a means of cleansing wrongdoing and securing protection; sacred realities—both divine (Śiva/auspiciousness) and terrestrial (the Himalaya)—are treated as supports for dharmic life.
Bhishma is in the midst of an enumerative, protective discourse (rakṣā/śānti-like invocation) in which holy powers and sacred places are praised and called upon; this verse highlights the sin-destroying auspicious principle and the sanctity of the Himalaya as part of that larger recitation.
