Bhīṣma’s Yogic Departure, Royal Cremation, and Gaṅgā’s Lament (भीष्मस्य योगयुक्त्या देहत्यागः, पितृमेधः, गङ्गाविलापः)
माधवस्यास्य माहात्म्यं श्रुतं यत् कथितं मया । तदेव तावत् पर्याप्तं सज्जनस्य निदर्शनम्
bhīṣma uvāca | mādhavasyāsya māhātmyaṃ śrutaṃ yat kathitaṃ mayā | tadeva tāvat paryāptaṃ sajjanasya nidarśanam | ataḥ kuntīnandana tvam ātmabhrātṛbandhubhiḥ svajanair iha śokaṃ na kartum arhasi | kauravakulānandavardhana yudhiṣṭhira tvam sadā krodhahīnaḥ śāntaś ca bhava | mayā yathā śrutaṃ tathā mādhavasya śrī-kṛṣṇasya māhātmyaṃ kathitam | etāvatāiva tasya mahimnaḥ bodhāya paryāptaṃ sajjanānāṃ digdarśanamātram iti |
毗湿摩说道：“我只是依我所闻，如实叙述了摩陀婆（克里希那）的伟大。仅此便足以作为贤善之人的指引之征。故而，昆蒂之子啊，你不应在此为兄弟、宗亲与眷属而悲恸。增益俱卢族欢悦的由提施提罗啊，恒常离嗔，安住寂静。关于摩陀婆威德的言说，已足以唤起领悟；对善人而言，哪怕只是轻轻一点，也能成为道路的指示。”

Educational Q&A
Bhishma urges Yudhishthira to abandon grief for kinsmen and to cultivate krodha-hīnatā (freedom from anger) and śānti (inner peace). He adds that even a brief account of Krishna’s greatness is enough to orient a noble person toward right understanding and conduct.
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction-setting, Bhishma concludes a praise/teaching about Madhava (Krishna) and turns directly to Yudhishthira with counsel: do not lament for family losses and remain calm and angerless, taking the narrated glory of Krishna as a sufficient moral-spiritual pointer.
