Shloka 153
मातापितृगुरुपूजा-प्रशंसा
Praise of Venerating Mother, Father, and Teacher
तस्मान्मे सम्प्रकाशन्ते त्रयो लोका युधिष्छिर । मैं तो सारा शुभ कर्म करके इन तीनों गुरुजनोंको ही समर्पित कर देता था। इससे मेरे उन सभी शुभ कर्मोका पुण्य सौगुना और हजारगुना बढ़ गया है। युधिष्ठिर! इसीसे तीनों लोक मेरी दृष्टिके सामने प्रकाशित हो रहे हैं
tasmān me samprakāśante trayo lokā yudhiṣṭhira |
毗湿摩说道：“因此，噢由提施提罗，三界在我面前清明照耀。因为我往昔行一切吉祥之事，皆尽心奉献于那三位可敬的长老；由此供献，我诸善业之福德增至百倍、千倍。正因如此，三界如今在我眼前朗然显现。”

Educational Q&A
Merit grows greatly when virtuous actions are performed with humility and dedicated to revered elders/teachers; such reverent offering purifies intention and yields heightened spiritual clarity, symbolized by the ‘three worlds’ becoming manifest.
Bhīṣma, instructing Yudhiṣṭhira in the Śānti Parva, explains the cause of his extraordinary inner vision: he had habitually offered the fruits of his auspicious deeds to three venerable elders, and through that dedication his merit multiplied, resulting in a luminous, expanded perception.
