Bhīṣma on the Śara-Śayyā: Yudhiṣṭhira and Kṛṣṇa Approach the Eldest for Śānti
सेव्यमान: सवैयाख्यो गाड़ेय विदितस्तव । “गड़ानन्दन! योग और सांख्यमें जो सनातन धर्म नियत हैं तथा चारों वर्णोंके लिये जो अविरोधी धर्म बताया गया है
sevyamānaḥ savaiyākhyo gāḍeya viditastava | gaḍānandana! yoga-sāṅkhyayoḥ yo sanātano dharmo niyataḥ tathā caturṇāṃ varṇānāṃ ye ’virodhino dharmāḥ proktāḥ, yaṃ sarve janāḥ sevante, tat sarvaṃ te vyākhyāsahitaṃ viditam |
毗舍波耶那说道：“噢，伽陀之子啊，你以善于阐释而闻名。瑜伽与数论（Sāṅkhya）中所确立的永恒之法（dharma），以及为四姓所说、彼此不相冲突的本分——世人普遍奉行的诸行——你皆连同其正当解说而了然于心。”

The verse highlights that true understanding of dharma includes both philosophical foundations (Yoga and Sāṅkhya) and practical, socially harmonizing duties for the four varṇas—dharma that is ‘avirodhī’, i.e., not self-contradictory and not disruptive to the wider moral order.
Vaiśampāyana addresses a figure called ‘Gaḍānandana/Gāḍeya’, praising him as a skilled expositor and acknowledging that he already knows—along with proper explanations—the established dharmas taught in Yoga and Sāṅkhya and the commonly practiced, non-conflicting duties for all four social orders.
