अध्याय ५६ — च्यवन–कुशिकसंवादः
Cyavana–Kuśika Dialogue on Lineage, Conflict, and Transmission
न च मन्युस्त्वया कार्य: श्रेयस्ते समुपस्थितम् । यत् काडक्षितं हादिस्थं ते तत् सर्व हि भविष्यति
na ca manyus tvayā kāryaḥ śreyas te samupasthitam | yat kāṅkṣitaṃ hṛdisthaṃ te tat sarvaṃ hi bhaviṣyati ||
Wika ni Bhishma: “Huwag mong hayaang manahan sa iyong isip ang dalamhati o hinanakit. Dumating na ngayon ang panahon ng iyong kagalingan. Anumang pagnanais na iniingatan mo sa iyong puso—anumang matagal mong minimithi—lahat iyon ay tiyak na magkakatotoo.”
भीष्म उवाच
Bhishma urges the listener to abandon inner anger or regret (manyu) and to rest in the assurance of śreyas—true welfare. Ethically, it teaches emotional restraint and trust in the ripening of rightful outcomes rather than being driven by resentment.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma is instructing and consoling the recipient of his counsel. Here he reassures them that the moment of auspicious good has arrived and that heartfelt wishes will be fulfilled, encouraging calmness and confidence.
