Ātma-saṃyama-dharma: One-pointedness of Mind and Senses (शुक–व्यास संवादः)
सेवेत तान् समावृत्य इति धर्मेषु निश्चय: । जिन-जिन गन्धों और रसोंका ब्रह्मचारीको सेवन नहीं करना चाहिये
sevet tān samāvṛtya iti dharmeṣu niścayaḥ |
Hanya setelah samāvartana barulah ia boleh menikmati hal-hal itu; inilah kesimpulan dharma yang mantap. Segala wewangian dan rasa yang tidak patut dinikmati seorang brahmacārin hendaknya ia tinggalkan selama masa brahmacarya; sesudah upacara samāvartana barulah ia boleh menikmatinya.

Educational Q&A
Sense-enjoyments that are restricted for a brahmacārin should be renounced during the period of studentship and may be taken up only after samāvartana; dharma is defined here as disciplined timing and restraint, not mere denial.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and right conduct, Vyāsa states a normative rule for the student stage: abstain from certain pleasures during brahmacarya and partake only after the formal completion of training marked by samāvartana.
