Shloka 29
मनु-उपदेशः — भूत-उत्पत्ति, इन्द्रिय-निवृत्ति, तथा पर-स्वभाव-विवेकः
Manu’s Instruction on Elemental Origination, Sense-Withdrawal, and Discrimination of the Supreme Nature
भारत! इस प्रकार मैंने तुम्हारे समक्ष बुद्धिकी सम्पूर्ण गतिका विशद विवेचन किया है। बुद्धिमान पुरुषको चाहिये कि वह अपनी सम्पूर्ण इन्द्रियोंको काबूमें रखे ।।
bhārata! evaṃ mayā tava samakṣaṃ buddheḥ samagrā gatiḥ spaṣṭīkṛtā. buddhimān puruṣaḥ sarvendriyāṇi vaśe kuryāt. sattvaṃ rajas tamaś caiva prāṇināṃ saṃśritāḥ sadā. trividhā vedanā caiva sarvasattveṣu dṛśyate.
バラタよ、このようにして私は、知性（buddhi）の歩みと働きのすべてを汝の前に明らかに説き示した。賢者はあらゆる感官を制御すべきである。というのも、生きとし生けるものにはサットヴァ、ラジャス、タマスの三徳（guṇa）が常に宿り、それに応じて、あらゆる生類に三種の感受と苦悩の経験が見られるからである。

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that wisdom requires mastery over the senses, because all beings are conditioned by the three guṇas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—which generate differing kinds of experience and suffering; restraint and discernment help one rise above their compulsions.
In the Śānti Parva dialogue, Bhīṣma continues instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on inner discipline and the workings of the mind/intellect, concluding a prior explanation of buddhi and turning to the universal presence of the three guṇas and their effects on lived experience.
