Shloka 4
अहिंसयित्वा ब्रह्महत्याविधानम् / Brahmahatyā incurred without physical violence
भीष्म उवाच श्रद्धापूतो नरस्तात दुर्दान्तोी5पि न संशय: । पूतो भवति सर्वत्र किमुत त्वं महाद्युते
bhīṣma uvāca śraddhāpūto naras tāta durdānto 'pi na saṁśayaḥ | pūto bhavati sarvatra kim uta tvaṁ mahādyute ||
毗湿摩说道：“孩子啊，即便是难以约束之人，也能仅凭信心（śraddhā）而得清净——对此毫无疑虑。由信心所净化者，处处皆净；更何况你啊，光威赫奕之王，你的性情与达摩（正法）相契，又怎会有人怀疑你的清净？”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Śraddhā (faithful reverence) has a purifying power: even a person lacking self-control can become purified through sincere faith; therefore, a dharmic and noble person’s purity is even more certain.
Bhishma addresses a ‘mighty’ listener (a king/hero in context) to reassure him: purity and worthiness are grounded in śraddhā, and the listener—being dharma-inclined—should have no doubt about his own purity.
