Shloka 10
Gautama’s Flight, the Enchanted Grove, and the Arrival of Rājadharma
Nāḍījaṅgha
सत्य॑ नामाव्ययं नित्यमविकारि तथैव च । सर्वधर्माविरुद्धेन योगेनैतदवाप्यते
satyaṁ nāmāvyayaṁ nityam avikāri tathaiva ca | sarvadharmāviruddhena yogenaitad avāpyate ||
Wika ni Bhishma: “Ang tinatawag na Katotohanan ay di-nasisira, walang hanggan, at di-nagbabago. Natatamo ang Katotohanang ito sa pamamagitan ng isang disiplina (yoga) ng pamumuhay na hindi sumasalungat sa alinmang dharma—sa matatag na pagtupad ng tungkulin na kaayon ng katuwiran.”

Educational Q&A
Truth (satya) is characterized as imperishable, eternal, and unchanging; it is realized through a disciplined way of life (yoga) grounded in duty and conduct that harmonizes with dharma rather than contradicting it.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira on righteous living and higher principles, defining the nature of Truth and indicating the practical path—dharma-aligned discipline—by which it is attained.
