Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the ethical and cultural authority of ṛṣis: their spiritual discipline (brahmatejas) and exemplary lives are presented as foundations for sustaining social and cosmic order, making their names and lineages worthy of remembrance.

Bhishma, in an instructive discourse, begins enumerating renowned sages—identifying some by patronymics—to establish a lineage of spiritual exemplars and to lend weight to the dharmic instruction being conveyed in this section.
