Bhīṣma’s Yogic Departure, Royal Cremation, and Gaṅgā’s Lament (भीष्मस्य योगयुक्त्या देहत्यागः, पितृमेधः, गङ्गाविलापः)
न्याय्यं श्रेयोडभिकामेन प्रतिपत्तुं जनार्दन: । एष एवाक्षयो विप्रै: स्तुतो राजन् जनार्दन:
nyāyyaṁ śreyodabhikāmena pratipattuṁ janārdanaḥ | eṣa evākṣayo vipraiḥ stuto rājan janārdanaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“凡求至上福祉者，归依阇那尔达那（Janārdana）乃正当而相宜。大王啊，正是这位不坏不灭的阇那尔达那，为婆罗门所称颂。”

Educational Q&A
One who truly seeks śreyas (the highest, lasting good) should adopt the dharmic course of taking refuge in Janardana (Krishna/Vishnu), who is described as imperishable and universally praised by the learned.
In Bhishma’s instruction to the king (Yudhishthira), he recommends devotion and reliance upon Janardana as the rightful path for ultimate welfare, citing the authority of Brahmins who have traditionally praised him.
