Janamejaya said When that foremost person among the Kauravas, viz., Bhishma was lying on a bed of arrows—a bed that is always coveted by heroes and when the Pandavas were sitting around him, my great Grandfather Yudhishthira of much wisdom, heard these expositions of mysteries about the subject of duty and had all his doubts removed.
जनमेजय उवाच शरतल्पगते भीष्मे कौरवाणां धुरन्धरे। शयाने वीरशयने पाण्डवैः समुपस्थिते॥ युधिष्ठिरो महाप्राज्ञो भम पूर्वपितामहः। धर्माणामागमं श्रुत्वा विदित्वा सर्वसंशयान्॥
