अनुशासनपर्व अध्याय ९३ — तपस्, सदोपवास, विघसाशन, अतिथिप्रियता
Austerity, regulated fasting, residual-eating, and hospitality
पित्रा विवदमानश्व यस्य चोपपतिर्गृहि । अभिशस्तस्तथा स्तेन: शिल्पं यश्षोपजीवति
pitrā vivadamānaś ca yasya copapatir gṛhe | abhiśastas tathā stenaḥ śilpaṃ yaś copajīvati ||
ビーシュマは言った。父と絶えず争う者、家に不義の情夫(密通の相手)を置く者、公然と(重い不正で)告発される者、同じく盗人、そして卑しい技で生計を立てる者——これらは行いが倫理において汚れ、世に非難される者として挙げられる。ゆえに信を託すこと、またダルマにかなう交わりにおいて避けるべきである。
भीष्म उवाच
The verse lists behaviors and conditions that mark a person as socially and morally unreliable—disrespect toward one’s father, sexual impropriety within the household, public accusation of serious wrongdoing, theft, and disreputable livelihood—implying that dharmic life requires careful choice of conduct and association.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma in the Anuśāsana Parva, he enumerates categories of censured persons as part of a broader ethical discourse on character, reputation, and whom one should avoid trusting or associating with.
