आचारप्रशंसा

Praise of Ācāra as the Basis of Longevity, Fame, and Prosperity

न भग्ने नावशीर्णे च शयने प्रस्वपीत च । नान्तर्थाने न संयुक्ते न च तिर्यक्‌ कदाचन,टूटी और ढीली खाटपर नहीं सोना चाहिये। अँधेरेमें पड़ी हुई शय्यापर भी सहसा शयन करना उचित नहीं है (उजाला करके उसे अच्छी तरह देख लेना चाहिये)। किसी दूसरेके साथ एक खाटपर न सोये। इसी तरह पलंगपर कभी तिरछा होकर नहीं, सदा सीधे ही सोना चाहिये

na bhagne nāvaśīrṇe ca śayane prasvapīta ca | nāntarthāne na saṃyukte na ca tiryak kadācana ||

Bhīṣma said: One should not sleep on a bed that is broken or loosened. One should not lie down to sleep on a couch kept in darkness without first examining it (by bringing light). One should not sleep together with another person on the same bed. Likewise, one should never sleep lying crosswise; one should lie straight.
