सातत्यं च प्रसड्गस्य वर्णयेयं यथातथम्,इसके सिवा उससे सदा जूआ खेलनेकी आदत बन जाती है। यह सब बातें मैं ठीक- ठीक बता रहा हूँ

قال فايُو: «سأصف وصفًا دقيقًا كما هو: كيف تتحوّل المداومة على الاسترسال إلى تعلّق، وكيف—فضلاً عن ذلك—تنشأ لدى المرء عادةُ الإدمان على القمار. إنني أذكر هذه الأمور صدقًا وعلى وجهها.»

Educational Q&A

Vāyudeva is speaking in an instructive mode, promising to explain truthfully and precisely how persistent engagement leads to attachment and habitual gambling, framing the point as a moral warning.
