कविं पुराणमनुशासितार मणोरणीयांसमनुस्मरेद् य: । सर्वस्य धातारमचिन्त्यरूपम् आदित्यवर्ण तमस: परस्तात्
kaviṁ purāṇam anuśāsitāraṁ aṇor aṇīyāṁsam anusmared yaḥ | sarvasya dhātāram acintyarūpam ādityavarṇaṁ tamasaḥ parastāt ||
凡能坚定忆念彼者——古圣之诗人、太初之本、统御与导师、微于至微、持一切者、形相不可思议、如日轮般光耀、超越无明黑暗者——于决定之时，便能令心安住于至上。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches disciplined remembrance of the Supreme—described as ancient, subtle, sustaining all, inconceivable, and radiant—so that one’s consciousness is oriented beyond ignorance and fear, especially at critical moments.
In Bhīṣma Parva’s teaching context, Arjuna is voicing a description of the Supreme Person to be remembered; the focus shifts from battlefield anxiety to inner concentration and devotion as a means to steadiness and ultimate good.
