स वाचा कर्मणा चैव मनसा च द्विजर्षभ । प्रसादयति भूतानि त्रिविधे वर्त्मनि स्थित:

sa vācā karmaṇā caiva manasā ca dvijarṣabha | prasādayati bhūtāni trividhē vartmani sthitaḥ ||

O Stier unter den Zweimalgeborenen, auf dem dreifachen Pfad gegründet, schenkt er allen Wesen Zufriedenheit—durch Wort, durch Tat und durch Geist. Indem er Rede, Handeln und Absicht mit den Zuchtwegen der Übung und der Einsicht in Einklang hält, wird er zur Quelle des Friedens für die Welt um ihn her.

Educational Q&A

True dharmic excellence is holistic: one should cultivate purity and restraint in speech, action, and mind. When these three are harmonized and grounded in disciplined paths of life, one naturally becomes beneficial and soothing to all beings.

A brāhmaṇa speaker describes the mark of an exemplary person: someone established in a threefold discipline who, by his words, deeds, and inner intention, pacifies and pleases living beings—presenting an ethical ideal typical of Śānti Parva’s instruction.
