| | Bhishma |
 | | Bhishma said: O master of all the worlds, O mighty armed one, O Siva, O Narayana, O thou of unfading glory, hearing the words spoken by thee I have been filled with joy. |
 | | Bhishma said: Burning, stupefaction, fatigue, exhaustion, illness, and pain, through thy grace, O thou of Vrishnis race, have all left me in a single day, O thou of incomparable splendour, all that is past, all that is future, and all that is present, I behold as clearly as a fruit placed in my hands. |
 | | Bhishma said: As the duty of the Brahmanas consists of the practice of charity, study and penances, so the duty of Kshatriyas is to cast away their bodies, O Krishna, in battle. |
