Shloka 28
Durgātitaraṇa—Conduct for Crossing Difficulties (दुर्गातितरणम्)
य एनं संश्रयन्तीह भक्ता नारायणं हरिम् । ते तरन्तीह दुर्गाणि न चात्रास्ति विचारणा
ya enaṁ saṁśrayantīha bhaktā nārāyaṇaṁ harim | te tarantīha durgāṇi na cātrāsti vicāraṇā ||
Bhishma nói: Những người sùng tín ở đời này nương tựa nơi Hari—Nārāyaṇa—sẽ vượt qua cả những cửa ải hiểm nghèo và cơn nguy biến khó bề vượt nổi. Về điều ấy không có chỗ cho nghi ngờ hay bàn cãi.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches śaraṇāgati (taking refuge): sincere devotees who rely on Nārāyaṇa/Hari are enabled to overcome even severe dangers and hardships; the statement is presented as certain and not merely speculative.
In the Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and the means to peace and welfare; here he emphasizes devotion to Nārāyaṇa as a reliable support that carries devotees through life’s crises.
