सर्वे विप्राश्ष॒ देवाश्ष तथा शमविदो जना: । ब्रह्माणं परमं देवमनन्तं परमच्युतम्
sarve viprāś ca devāś ca tathā śamavido janāḥ | brahmāṇaṃ paramaṃ devam anantaṃ paramācyutam ||
Bhīṣma nói: “Tất cả các brāhmaṇa, các chư thiên, và cả những người biết đạo an tĩnh nội tâm—đều tôn kính Brahman, Thần Tối Thượng: Đấng Vô Biên, Acyuta tối thượng, Đấng Không Hề Suy Sụp.”

That the highest object of reverence is the Supreme—Brahman—described as infinite and unfailing (Acyuta), acknowledged across spiritual and cosmic orders: brāhmaṇas, gods, and disciplined seekers of tranquillity.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma continues his instruction on dharma and higher truth, emphasizing a shared recognition of the Supreme principle—Brahman/Paramadeva—by diverse authorities and realized practitioners.
