Shloka 35
अनुशासनपर्व अध्याय ९३ — तपस्, सदोपवास, विघसाशन, अतिथिप्रियता
Austerity, regulated fasting, residual-eating, and hospitality
अधीत्य च यथान्यायं विधिवत् तस्य कारिण: । उपपन्नो गुरुकुले सत्यवादी सहस्रश:
adhītya ca yathānyāyaṁ vidhivat tasya kāriṇaḥ | upapanno gurukule satyavādī sahasraśaḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「規にかなって学び、学んだとおりに法に従って行う者。師の家（gurukula）において正しく鍛えられた者。幾千の試みにおいて真実を語る者（satyavādī）として証し立てられた者—このように律と学を具えた婆羅門は、清めの力を有する。その臨在だけで、視線の届くところに座す他の婆羅門をも清めるのである。」
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Learning is not sufficient by itself: one must study correctly (yathā-nyāyam), follow scriptural procedure (vidhivat), and embody the teaching in conduct (tasya kāriṇaḥ). Truthfulness (satyavāda) and disciplined training in the gurukula are presented as marks of genuine spiritual and social authority, capable of purifying others.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma. Here he praises a class of well-trained, truthful, properly practicing Brahmins and describes their sanctifying influence, emphasizing the ethical power of lived discipline and verified integrity.
