Kakṣasenāś ca rājarṣir Vasiṣṭhāya mahātmane | nyāsaṃ yathāvat saṃnyasya jagāma sumahāyaśāḥ ||
بھیشم نے کہا— نہایت بلند نام راجرشی ککشسین نے دستور کے مطابق مہاتما وِشِشٹھ کے سپرد اپنا سب کچھ بطورِ نِیاس (امانت) کر کے، سُورگ لوک کو روانگی اختیار کی۔

Educational Q&A
Renunciation should be done responsibly and in accordance with dharma: one should duly transfer wealth and obligations (nyāsa) to a worthy custodian (here, Vasiṣṭha) rather than abandoning them improperly. Such orderly, ethical relinquishment supports spiritual merit and a noble end.
Bhīṣma cites the example of the rājarṣi Kakṣasena: he formally entrusted his possessions/charge to the sage Vasiṣṭha, renounced his worldly ties, and then departed for Svarga, celebrated for his great fame.
