Shloka 26
Pratyakṣa–Āgama–Ācāra: Doubt, Proof, and the Practice of Dharma (प्रत्यक्ष–आगम–आचारविचारः)
तेषामृषिकृतो धर्मो धर्मिणामुपपद्यते । न कामकारात् कामोडन्य: संसेव्यो धर्मदर्शिभि:
teṣām ṛṣikṛto dharmo dharmiṇām upapadyate | na kāmakārāt kāmo 'nyaḥ saṁsevyo dharmadarśibhiḥ ||
ダルマに則って生きる者には、聖仙（リシ）たちが定めた行いの規範がまことに当てはまり、果報を結ぶ。ダルマを明らかに見る者は、気まぐれや欲望だけで享楽を追ってはならない。欲に駆られた放縦を生き方として育ててはならぬ。
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma is to be lived according to the standards established by the sages, and ethical people should not treat desire as a license for indulgence. The verse emphasizes restraint and rule-governed conduct rather than pleasure pursued from mere impulse.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing about proper dharmic conduct. In context (as reflected in the accompanying explanation), the teaching is applied especially to householders: keeping marital life within Vedic discipline and practicing sense-control, not making desire the guiding principle.
