Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 82
एषा ते कथिता राजन् सावित्री ब्रह्म शाश्वती | विवक्षुरसि यच्चान्यत् तत् ते वक्ष्यामि भारत
eṣā te kathitā rājan sāvitrī brahma śāśvatī | vivakṣur asi yac cānyat tat te vakṣyāmi bhārata ||
Sinabi ni Bhishma: “O Hari, naipaliwanag ko na sa iyo ang walang-hanggang Savitri—ang Gayatri—na ang likas na anyo ay Brahman. O Bharata, kung may iba ka pang nais itanong, sasabihin ko rin sa iyo.”

Educational Q&A
The verse affirms the timeless sanctity of Sāvitrī/Gāyatrī by identifying it with Brahman, and it models the ethic of instruction: a teacher completes one topic and invites further sincere inquiry.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction-setting, Bhīṣma concludes his account of the greatness of Sāvitrī/Gāyatrī to King Yudhiṣṭhira and offers to answer any further questions.
