Shloka 29
ये तु धर्म महाराज सततं पर्युपासते । सत्यार्जवपरा: सन्तस्ते वै स्वर्गभुजो नरा:,महाराज! जो सत्य और सरलतामें तत्पर होकर सदा धर्मका पालन करते हैं, वे मनुष्य स्वर्गलोकका सुख भोगते हैं
ye tu dharma mahārāja satataṃ paryupāsate | satyārjavaparāḥ santaḥ te vai svargabhujo narāḥ ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “O dakilang hari, yaong palagiang nagsasagawa at nagtataguyod ng dharma—mga taong marangal na nakatuon sa katotohanan at tuwid na asal—tunay na nagtatamasa ng ligaya sa langit.”
