Utkramaṇa-sthāna and Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa: Yājñavalkya’s Instruction on Departure Pathways and Mortality Signs
वसिष्ठ उवाच यदेतदुक्तं भवता वेदशास्त्रनिदर्शनम् एवमेतद् यथा चैततन्निगृह्लाति तथा भवान्
Vasiṣṭha uvāca: yad etad uktaṃ bhavatā vedaśāstra-nidarśanam; evam etad yathā caitat tan nigṛhṇāti tathā bhavān.
ヴァシシュタは言った。「王よ、あなたがヴェーダとシャーストラの譬えをもって述べたことは、まことに正しい。事はあなたの理解するとおりである。そしてこの原理が心と行いを抑え（統べ）るように、あなたもまたそれを抑えている。」
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Scriptural reasoning (Veda and śāstra) is affirmed as valid guidance, and the ethical emphasis is on nigraha—restraint or self-control—as a hallmark of right understanding and disciplined conduct, especially for a ruler.
Vasiṣṭha responds to a king, endorsing the king’s prior statement that was supported with Vedic and śāstric examples, and he praises the king’s capacity to apply that understanding through restraint and governance.
