सातत्यं च प्रसड्गस्य वर्णयेयं यथातथम्,इसके सिवा उससे सदा जूआ खेलनेकी आदत बन जाती है। यह सब बातें मैं ठीक- ठीक बता रहा हूँ

Vāyu berkata: “Akan kujelaskan sebagaimana adanya bagaimana kebiasaan yang terus-menerus berubah menjadi keterikatan; dan bagaimana latihan berjudi menjelma menjadi kecanduan yang menetap. Semua ini kusampaikan dengan benar dan berurutan.”

Educational Q&A
Repeated indulgence hardens into attachment and then into habit; therefore one should practice restraint and recognize early signs of addictive involvement, especially in activities like gambling.
Vāyudeva is speaking in an instructive mode, promising to explain truthfully and precisely how persistent engagement leads to attachment and habitual gambling, framing the point as a moral warning.
