दैव–पुरुषकार-प्रश्नः
Daiva–Puruṣakāra Inquiry: Fate and Human Effort
अभ्युत्थानेन दैवस्य समारब्धेन कर्मणा । विधिना कर्मणा चैव स्वर्गमार्गमवाप्लुयात्,मनुष्य दैवके उत्थानसे आरम्भ किये हुए पुरुषार्थसे उत्तम विधि और शास्त्रोक्त सत्कर्मसे ही स्वर्गलोकका मार्ग पा सकता है
abhyutthānena daivasya samārabdhena karmaṇā | vidhinā karmaṇā caiva svargamārgam avāpnuyāt ||
毗湿摩说道：“以坚决之志奋然起身，依顺天命所定而发起行动，并依正当法度与圣典戒律而行善业之人，便能获得通往天界之道。此教诲强调：命运不能代替努力；唯有合乎道德、严守纪律的行为，方能抵达更高的世界与更高的归宿。”

Educational Q&A
Heaven (and moral uplift) is reached through disciplined, rule-guided righteous action—undertaken with personal effort—even while acknowledging the role of daiva (what is ordained).
In the Anushasana Parva, Bhishma continues instructing on dharma; here he states a general principle that proper, scripturally guided action combined with determined effort is the means to attain the heavenly path.
