Shloka 26
Ānṛśaṃsya, Amātya-Guṇa, and Reconciliatory Counsel (आनृशंस्य–अमात्यगुण–संधि-उपदेशः)
यथावत् पूजितो राजन् गृहं गन्तासि मे भृशम् । ततः सम्पूज्य तौ विप्रं विश्वस्तो जग्मतुर्गहान्
yathāvat pūjito rājan gṛhaṃ gantāsi me bhṛśam | tataḥ sampūjya tau vipraṃ viśvasto jagmatur gṛhān |
Wika ni Bhishma: “O Hari, matapos kang parangalan nang nararapat, pumarito ka sa aking tahanan nang may ganap na pagtitiwala.” Pagkasabi nito, silang dalawa—na ngayo’y panatag at nagtitiwala—ay nagbigay-galang nang wasto sa Brahmana, at saka umuwi sa kani-kanilang bahay.

Educational Q&A
Dharma is upheld through yathāvat-pūjā—proper honoring of worthy guests, especially Brahmins; such respectful conduct generates trust and maintains social harmony.
Bhishma addresses a king, inviting him to come to his home after being duly honored; then the two characters respectfully honor a Brahmin and proceed homeward in mutual confidence.
