Bhishma who knew the truth, described (discoursed upon) them, O sage, as contained in the several Akhyanas and Itihasas; described the Dharmas which are laid down according to the nature of men, their caste and Asrama or stage of life; the twofold Dharmas, Pravritta and Nivritta, laid down with reference to the conditions of renunciation or attachment; the Dharmas or duties of charitable gifts, those imposed upon Kings, those leading to salvation, those laid down for women, and also those that delight the Lord, and in general he described Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha, and their accessory means,—he described all these distinctly, without confusion, both briefly and in detail.
