Kośa, Bala, and Maryādā: Treasury, Capacity, and Enforceable Limits (कोश-बल-मर्यादा)
यथा यथा हि पुरुषो नित्यं शास्त्रमवेक्षते । तथा तथा विजानाति विज्ञानमथ रोचते
yathā yathā hi puruṣo nityaṁ śāstram avekṣate | tathā tathā vijānāti vijñānam atha rocate ||
মানুষ প্রতিদিন যত বেশি শাস্ত্র অধ্যয়ন ও পর্যালোচনা করে, ততই তার জ্ঞান বৃদ্ধি পায়; তারপর তার মন বিশেষত উচ্চতর, বিবেকপূর্ণ জ্ঞানে আসক্ত হয়।

Educational Q&A
Regular, sustained study and reflection on authoritative teachings gradually deepens understanding; with maturity, one naturally develops a taste for subtler, more discriminative knowledge (vijñāna) rather than mere surface learning.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing the listener on the cultivation of wisdom and dharma after the war; here he emphasizes disciplined, continual engagement with śāstra as the practical means by which knowledge grows and higher insight becomes desirable.
