अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
तव प्रसादसंवृत्तमिदं सर्व महामुने । नैतच्चित्र॑ तु भगवंस्त्वयि सत्यपराक्रम
tava prasāda-saṁvṛttam idaṁ sarvaṁ mahā-mune | na etac citraṁ tu bhagavan tvayi satya-parākrama ||
மகாமுனியே! இவை அனைத்தும் உங்கள் அருள்பிரசாதத்தாலேயே நிகழ்ந்தன. பகவனே! நீங்கள் சத்தியப் பராக்கிரமர்; சத்தியநிஷ்ட தபஸ்விகளில் இத்தகைய ஆற்றல் இருப்பது வியப்பல்ல.

Educational Q&A
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.
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.
