Shloka 111
नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
तस्मादुपासस्व परं महच्छुचि शिवं विमोक्षं विमल॑ पवित्रम् । क्षेत्र ज्ञात्वा पार्थिव ज्ञानयज्ञ- मुपास्य वै तत्त्वमृषिर्भविष्यसि
tasmād upāsasva paraṁ mahac chuci śivaṁ vimokṣaṁ vimalaṁ pavitram | kṣetraṁ jñātvā pārthiva jñānayajñam upāsya vai tattvam ṛṣir bhaviṣyasi ||
因此，大王，当礼敬那超越自性（Prakṛti）的至上实在——广大、清净、吉祥、无垢、能净化众生，且本身即是解脱之相。地上之主啊，既知“田”（kṣetra，身与经验之域），又依止“知识之祭”，你必定成为洞见真如的圣仙。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that liberation-oriented wisdom is the highest pursuit: worship/meditate on the Supreme beyond Prakṛti, understand the kṣetra (the field of embodied experience), and adopt jñānayajña—the disciplined ‘sacrifice’ of knowledge—so that one becomes a true knower of reality (tattvajña ṛṣi).
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs the king on dharma and the path to peace after the war. Here he shifts from external duties to inner realization, advising the ruler to pursue contemplative knowledge and purity so that governance is rooted in truth and culminates in liberation.
