ज्येष्ठ-कनिष्ठ-धर्मः — Duties of Elders and Juniors
Anuśāsana-parva 108
एष ते लक्षणोद्देश आयुष्याणां प्रकीर्तित: । शेषस्त्रैविद्यवृद्धेभ्य: प्रत्याहायों युधिछ्चिर
eṣa te lakṣaṇoddeśa āyuṣyāṇāṁ prakīrtitaḥ | śeṣas traividyavṛddhebhyaḥ pratyāhāyo yudhiṣṭhira ||
যুধিষ্ঠির! এইভাবে আমি তোমাকে আয়ু-বর্ধক লক্ষণ ও বিধান সংক্ষেপে বললাম। যা কিছু অবশিষ্ট রইল, তা তুমি ত্রিবেদজ্ঞানে অগ্রগণ্য ব্রাহ্মণদের কাছে জিজ্ঞাসা করে জেনে নিও।

Educational Q&A
Bhishma emphasizes that he has given a concise outline of longevity-promoting conduct, and that any remaining details should be learned through respectful inquiry from authoritative Vedic experts—elders proficient in the three Vedas.
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction sequence, Bhishma concludes a section on practices that support long life and directs Yudhishthira to consult learned Brahmins for any additional rules not covered in his summary.
