कितवो भ्रूणहा यक्ष्मी पशुपालो निराकृति: । ग्रामप्रेष्यो वार्धुषिको गायन: सर्वविक्रयी
kitavo bhrūṇahā yakṣmī paśupālo nirākṛtiḥ | grāmapreṣyo vārdhuṣiko gāyanaḥ sarvavikrayī ||
ビーシュマは言った。「賭博に耽る者、胎児を殺す者、衰耗の病に冒された者、卑しい行いの牧畜者、醜く歪んだ（あるいは忌むべき）容貌の者、村の使役として走り回る下役、利を貪る高利貸し、歌を業とする者、そして何でも売り買いする者——このような者たちは、世に非難され、徳において疑わしい類として数えられる。」
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse catalogs types of people regarded as ethically compromised or socially censured—those associated with grave sin (like foeticide), harmful habits (gambling), exploitative livelihood (usury), or disreputable conduct—implying that dharma requires discernment about character and association.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction on dharma, Bhīṣma continues his didactic discourse by listing categories of persons viewed as blameworthy or unfit in certain social-ethical contexts, as part of broader guidance on conduct and moral evaluation.
