Nīti-upadeśa to a Rājaputra: Self-restraint, Alliances, and Rival-Management (नीतिउपदेशः)
अभ्युद्धरति चात्मानं॑ प्रसादयति च प्रजा: । फिर तो तुम्हें बहुत-से शुद्ध हृदयवाले
abhyuddharati cātmānaṁ prasādayati ca prajāḥ |
ভীষ্মে ক’লে—যি শাস্ত্ৰানুসাৰে আচৰণ কৰি মন আৰু ইন্দ্ৰিয় সংযমত ৰাখে, সি নিজৰ উদ্ধাৰ কৰে আৰু প্ৰজাকো প্ৰসন্ন কৰে। তেতিয়া শুদ্ধহৃদয়, দুৰ্ব্যসনহীন আৰু উদ্যমী বহু সহায়ক তাৰ ওচৰলৈ আহে।

Educational Q&A
Self-mastery aligned with śāstra is both personally salvific and socially beneficial: controlling mind and senses uplifts one’s own life and naturally wins the trust and contentment of the people.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and righteous rule; here he emphasizes that a disciplined, śāstra-guided person (especially a ruler) secures his own welfare and also keeps the subjects pleased and peaceful.
