दमप्रशंसा — Praise of Self-Restraint
Dama
तस्य मायापिनद्धाड़ा नष्टतज्ञाना विचेतस: । मानवा ज्ञानसम्मोहात् ततः क्रोध॑ प्रयान्ति वै,उसी ईश्वरकी मायासे आवृत हो जानेपर मनुष्योंके ज्ञान और विवेकका नाश हो जाता है, तथा वे बुद्धिके व्यामोहसे क्रोधके वशीभूत हो जाते हैं
tasya māyāpinaddhāḍyā naṣṭa-tajñānā vicetasaḥ | mānavā jñāna-sammohāt tataḥ krodhaṁ prayānti vai ||
সেই ঈশ্বৰৰ মায়াই আচ্ছন্ন কৰিলে মানুহৰ সত্য জ্ঞান আৰু বিবেক নষ্ট হয়; জ্ঞানমোহত বিভ্ৰান্ত হৈ তেওঁলোকে নিশ্চয়েই ক্ৰোধৰ অধীন হয়।

Educational Q&A
When the mind is covered by the Lord’s māyā, knowledge and discernment collapse; from that cognitive-spiritual delusion arises anger. Ethical failure is traced to inner ignorance rather than merely external provocation.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and inner discipline. Here he explains a causal chain: divine māyā veils humans, delusion follows, and anger manifests—warning the king about the psychological roots of adharma.
