Shloka 15
इन्द्रेण वृत्रवधः, ब्रह्महत्याया अनुगमनम्, तथा च विभाजन-निवासविधानम्
Indra’s defeat of Vṛtra; pursuit by Brahmahatyā; allocation of her abodes
ध्यानमध्ययन दान सत्य द्वीरार्जवं क्षमा | शौचमाहारत: शुद्धिरिन्द्रियाणां च संयम:
bhīṣma uvāca | dhyānam adhyayanaṁ dānaṁ satyaṁ hrīr ārjavaṁ kṣamā | śaucam āhārataḥ śuddhir indriyāṇāṁ ca saṁyamaḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「禅定（ディヤーナ）、学習、布施、真実、慎み（恥じらい）、率直さ、赦し、外と内の清浄、食の清浄、そして諸根の制御—これらがヨーガの修行である。これらを培えば、求道者の内なる光は増し、罪は滅び、誓願は実を結び始め、真の識別智（ヴィジュニャーナ）が心に現れる。」

Educational Q&A
Yoga is grounded in ethical and purificatory disciplines: meditation, scriptural study, generosity, truthfulness, modest restraint, sincerity, forgiveness, cleanliness, pure diet, and control of the senses. These practices increase inner brilliance, remove sin, and culminate in the rise of true knowledge (vijñāna) in the heart.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma addresses Yudhishthira’s quest for dharma after the war, outlining practical virtues and observances that constitute yogic discipline and lead to inner transformation.
