Shloka 13
अभुक्तवत्सु नाश्नन्ति गर्भिणीवृद्धकादिषु । पूर्वल्निषु न दीव्यन्ति दिवा चैव न शेरते
abhuktavatsu nāśnanti garbhiṇī-vṛddhakādiṣu | pūrvāhṇeṣu na dīvyanti divā caiva na śerate ||
Dijo Bhīṣma: «No comen mientras aún haya quienes no han comido—como las mujeres encintas, los ancianos y otros. No juegan a los dados por la mañana, y no duermen durante el día.»

Educational Q&A
Dharma in daily life is shown through restraint and consideration: one should not satisfy oneself before ensuring the vulnerable (pregnant women, elders, etc.) are fed, and one should avoid habits that weaken character and duty—gambling and daytime sleep.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs on righteous conduct. Here he lists practical behavioral norms that characterize disciplined and socially responsible people, especially within household life.
