Shloka 65
Śrāddha-Kalpa: Pitṛ-Pūjā and Tithi-Phala (श्राद्धकल्पः पितृपूजा च तिथिफलम्)
अपत्यं युवयोदेव बलवद् भविता विभो | तन्ूनं त्रिषु लोकेषु न किज्चिच्छेषयिष्यति
apatyaṁ yuvayor deva balavad bhavitā vibho | tan nūnaṁ triṣu lokeṣu na kiñcic cheṣayiṣyati ||
Bhīṣma nói: “Ôi Đấng Chúa tể thiêng liêng, ôi bậc đại lực, con cái sinh từ hai Ngài sẽ vô cùng hùng mạnh. Quả thật, trong ba cõi, sẽ không còn gì mà nó không chế ngự.”

The verse underscores the ethical and political weight of progeny: a child born of a divinely sanctioned union is portrayed as possessing extraordinary potency, implying that lineage and rightful generation can shape the fate of the world and must therefore be approached with responsibility and dharmic intent.
Bhīṣma is addressing a divine, powerful figure and predicting that the offspring arising from the union of “you two” will be immensely strong—so formidable that it will dominate the three worlds, leaving nothing unconquered or unmatched.
