Educational Q&A
Bhishma emphasizes that a ruler must recognize and restrain the destructive vices rooted in anger and desire; these inner impulses generate “dreadful” failings that undermine personal discipline and good governance.
In the Rajadharma instruction of the Shanti Parva, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira, indicating that the text has already set out (or will set out in this section) a list of ten severe vices arising from anger and from desire.
