उपदेशदोषप्रसङ्गः (Upadeśa-doṣa-prasaṅgaḥ) — The Risk of Misapplied Counsel
अभिषेकांश्व नियमान् देवतायतनेषु च । बलिं च कृत्वा हुत्वा च देवतां चाप्यपूजयत्,वह तीनों समय नहाता, नियमोंका पालन करता, देव-स्थानोंमें पूजा चढ़ाता, अग्निमें आहुति देता और देवताकी पूजा करता था
abhiṣekāṃś ca niyamān devatāyataneṣu ca | baliṃ ca kṛtvā hutvā ca devatāṃ cāpy apūjayat ||
ビーシュマは言った。彼は定められた時に沐浴し、諸規定を守り、神々の祠に供物を捧げ、バリ（bali）の供献を行い、聖火に供物を注ぎ、しかるべく神を礼拝した――かくして常に敬虔と自制のうちに生きたのである。

Educational Q&A
Dharma is sustained through regular discipline and reverent action: timely bathing, observance of vows, offerings, and worship cultivate purity, gratitude, and steadiness of character.
Bhishma describes a person’s exemplary daily religious routine—bathing, keeping observances, visiting shrines, making bali and fire-offerings, and worshipping the deity—highlighting a life ordered by ritual duty and devotion.
