Shloka 30
अध्याय १७८ — प्राणवायुगतिः तथा शारीराग्निव्यवस्था
Adhyāya 178 — The courses of prāṇa-vāyu and the regulation of the bodily fire
न युष्मास्विह मे प्रीति: कामलो भानुसारिषु । तस्मादुत्सृज्य कामान् वै सत्त्वमेवाश्रयाम्यहम्
na yuṣmāsv iha me prītiḥ kāmalo bhānusāriṣu | tasmād utsṛjya kāmān vai sattvam evāśrayāmy aham ||
ビーシュマは言った。「ここにおいて、欲望と貪りを追い回す汝ら――まるで太陽の眩光に従う者のような者たちに、我は少しの愛着も抱かぬ。ゆえに、あらゆる渇望を捨て去り、今よりただサットヴァ（清明と善の徳性）にのみ帰依する。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches ethical self-discipline: one should abandon the pull of desire (kāma) and greed (lobha) and deliberately cultivate sattva—clarity, restraint, and inner steadiness—as the basis for right living (dharma).
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on conduct and inner qualities, Bhīṣma declares a turning away from forces that chase cravings and outward allure, and states his resolve to rely on sattva alone—signaling a moral and spiritual reorientation.
