Shloka 10
Svargārohaṇa-parva Adhyāya 5 — Karmaphala-Nirdeśa and Phalāśruti (कर्मफलनिर्देशः फलश्रुतिश्च)
मुनि: पुराण: कौरव्य पाराशर्यों महाव्रत: । अगाथबुद्धि: सर्वज्ञो गतिज्ञ: सर्वकर्मणाम्
muniḥ purāṇaḥ kauravya pārāśaryo mahāvrataḥ | agāthabuddhiḥ sarvajño gatijñaḥ sarvakarmaṇām ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“噢，俱卢族的后裔啊，古老的圣仙毗耶娑——波罗沙罗之子，持大誓愿者，智慧深不可测，遍知一切，并洞悉诸业最终归趣——曾对我如此言说：那些英雄在受尽各自业果之后，终究都融归于自身本初之形。而光辉雄伟、灿然无比的毗湿摩，则复入八位婆苏之境。”

Actions (karma) have definite outcomes (gati), and after those results are experienced, beings return to their intrinsic or original state; the verse frames this as a cosmic settling of accounts, witnessed and affirmed by the all-knowing sage Vyāsa.
Vaiśampāyana reports Vyāsa’s authoritative explanation of the heroes’ final destiny: having undergone the consequences of their deeds, they ultimately merge into their primordial identities; specifically, Bhīṣma is said to re-enter the divine class of the Vasus.
