तद्भावभावी तद्बुद्धिस्तदात्मा तदपाश्रय: । तेजसा<<वृत्य लोकांस्त्रीन् यश: प्राप्स्यति ते सुत:
tadbhāvabhāvī tadbuddhis tadātmā tadapāśrayaḥ | tejasā vṛtya lokāṃs trīn yaśaḥ prāpsyati te sutaḥ ||
Wika ni Bhishma: “Ang iyong anak ay lubos na malulubog sa pagka-Diyos; sa Panginoon mananatili ang kanyang pag-unawa, sa Panginoon titimo ang kanyang kalooban, at ang Panginoon lamang ang kanyang magiging kanlungan. Sa kanyang espirituwal na ningning, mapupuno ang tatlong daigdig, at ang anak mong iyon ay magtatamo ng dakilang katanyagan.”

Educational Q&A
Single-pointed devotion and reliance on the Supreme—when intellect (buddhi), inner self (ātman), and refuge (āśraya) are centered on Bhagavān—yields spiritual radiance (tejas) and enduring, dharmic fame (yaśas).
Bhīṣma, speaking in the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, foretells or describes the spiritual character of a certain son: he will be God-centered in thought and being, and through his tejas he will become renowned across the three worlds.
