Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
अनादिमध्यनिधन निर्दद्ध कर्त शाश्वतम् कूटस्थं चैव नित्यं च यद् वदन्ति मनीषिण:
anādimadhyanidhanaṃ nirdvandvaṃ kartṛ śāśvatam | kūṭasthaṃ caiva nityaṃ ca yad vadanti manīṣiṇaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：智者宣称，梵（Brahman）无始、无中、无终，超越一切二相对待；为永恒之基，是世间生起背后的因；不变、坚住、常有。于此教法中，最高的伦理取向在于：了知究竟实在不为冲突与变迁所动摇，并使自身行持契合那稳固的真理，而非随逐短暂的对立。

Educational Q&A
Brahman, the highest reality, is described as beginningless, endless, beyond all dualities, and unchanging. The verse teaches that ultimate truth is stable and eternal, so wisdom and right conduct should be grounded in that unshaken reality rather than in temporary opposites and changing circumstances.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and liberation. Here he shifts to a philosophical definition of Brahman, presenting how sages characterize the absolute as eternal, non-dual, and the underlying cause of the world.
