Body-Relinquishment
विदित्वा भक्तियोगं तु भीष्मस्य पुरुषोत्तम: । सहसोत्थाय संहृष्ठो यानमेवान्वपद्यत,इधर पुरुषोत्तम श्रीकृष्ण भीष्मजीके भक्तियोगको जानकर सहसा उठे और बड़े हर्षके साथ रथपर जा बैठे

viditvā bhaktiyogaṃ tu bhīṣmasya puruṣottamaḥ |
sahasotthāya saṃhṛṣṭo yānam evānvapadyata ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: Thấu rõ pháp tu bhakti-yoga của Bhīṣma, Đấng Tối Thượng (Kṛṣṇa) liền đứng dậy, lòng tràn hoan hỷ, và lập tức lên xe của mình.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical posture of receptivity: when genuine devotion and spiritual discipline are recognized (here, Bhīṣma’s bhakti-yoga), the proper response is joyful readiness and respectful action rather than hesitation. It models how wisdom received from a venerable source should move one toward prompt, purposeful conduct.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Puruṣottama (Śrī Kṛṣṇa), having grasped Bhīṣma’s teaching on bhakti-yoga, immediately rises with delight and mounts his chariot—signaling a transition from listening/understanding to decisive movement in the unfolding events.
