samprāpya tu tato rājā bhīṣmasya sadanaṃ śubham | avatīrya hayāccāpi bhīṣmaṃ prāpya janeśvaraḥ ||

Educational Q&A
Even in a context driven by ambition and conflict, royal conduct is expected to honor hierarchy and elders; approaching Bhīṣma with proper protocol reflects the ethical ideal that power should still submit to wisdom and seniority.
