Adhyāya 70: Sātyaki’s Arrow-Display and the Bhūriśravas Engagement; Twilight Withdrawal
ये च कृष्णं प्रपद्यन्ते ते न मुहान्ति मानवा: । भये महति मग्नांश्न पाति नित्यं जनार्दन:
ye ca kṛṣṇaṃ prapadyante te na muhyanti mānavāḥ | bhaye mahati magnāṃś ca pāti nityaṃ janārdanaḥ ||
Bhīṣma nói: Những người nương tựa Kṛṣṇa không rơi vào mê lầm. Janārdana hằng che chở cả những kẻ đang chìm trong nỗi sợ lớn—bền bỉ nâng đỡ họ khi hiểm nguy và rối loạn muốn nhấn chìm sự phán đoán.

Educational Q&A
Taking refuge (prapatti) in Kṛṣṇa prevents moha (delusion) and brings steady protection even amid extreme fear; ethically, it commends reliance on divine guidance to preserve discernment and right action under pressure.
Bhīṣma, speaking within the Bhīṣma Parva context, praises Kṛṣṇa’s role as protector: he asserts that those who surrender to Kṛṣṇa do not become mentally confounded, and that Janārdana continually safeguards people when they are overwhelmed by danger.
