Shloka 36
ततः प्रवर्तिता सम्यक् तपोविद्धिर्द्धिजातिभि: । शब्दे चार्थ च हेती च एषा प्रथमसर्गजा,तब उन तपस्वी ब्राह्मणोंने शब्द, अर्थ और हेतुसे युक्त वाणीका प्रयोग किया। यह उनकी प्रथम रचना थी
tataḥ pravartitā samyak tapoviddhir dvijātibhiḥ | śabde cārthe ca hetau ca eṣā prathamasargajā ||
بھیشم نے کہا—پھر اُن دِویج تپسویوں نے تپسیا کے صحیح طریقے کو ٹھیک طور پر رائج کیا۔ اس کے بعد انہوں نے ایسی منظم وانی برتی جو شبد، ارتھ اور ہیتُو (استدلال) سے یکت تھی۔ یہی اُن کی پہلی تخلیق تھی—آدی سَرگ سے جنم لینے والی پہلی تشکیل۔

Educational Q&A
Right practice and right speech must be disciplined and complete: speech should unite śabda (well-formed expression), artha (clear meaning), and hetu (sound reasoning). Such speech supports dharma because it is truthful, purposeful, and intelligible rather than impulsive or deceptive.
Bhishma describes an early, foundational development: ascetic, learned twice-born sages establish proper tapas-based discipline and then articulate a model of ideal speech—language that is structured by sound, conveys meaning, and is supported by reason—presented as a primordial or first formulation in the order of creation.
