परिव्राजक-आचारः (Conduct of the Wandering Renunciant) — Mahābhārata, Śānti-parva 269

आगमाश्च यथाकाले संकल्पाश्न यथाक्रमम्‌ । अपेतकामक्रोधानां दुश्चराचारकर्मणाम्‌

āgamāś ca yathākāle saṅkalpāś ca yathākramam | apetakāmakrodhānāṃ duścarācārakarmaṇām ||

যথাসময়ে তাঁদের মধ্যে শাস্ত্রজ্ঞান উদিত হতো এবং যথাক্রমে সত্যসঙ্কল্প পরিপক্ব হতো। কাম ও ক্রোধ ত্যাগ করে তাঁদের আচরণ ও সাধনা এতই কঠোর ছিল যে অন্যদের পক্ষে তা অনুসরণ করা অত্যন্ত দুরূহ ছিল।

Educational Q&A

Spiritual maturity is portrayed as orderly and timely: as desire and anger are relinquished, scriptural understanding and steadfast resolve arise naturally, and one’s disciplined conduct becomes rigorous—often difficult for ordinary people to imitate.

Kapila is describing a class of disciplined practitioners: they have abandoned kāma and krodha, and as a result their lives exhibit demanding ethical and practical disciplines, alongside a progressive awakening of scriptural knowledge and firm intention.
