Dharma-vyādha’s Analysis of Moral Decline and the Mahābhūta–Guṇa Schema (धर्मव्याधोपदेशः)
साधुसज्भरमपूतेन वाक्सुभाषितवारिणा | पवित्रीकृतमात्मानं सन््तो मन्यन्ति नित्यश:,सत्संगसे पवित्र किये हुए वाणीके सुन्दर सम्भाषणरूप जलसे अभिकषिक्त श्रेष्ठ पुरुष अपनेको सदा पवित्र हुआ मानते हैं
sādhu-saṅbhāram apūtena vāk-subhāṣita-vāriṇā | pavitrīkṛtam ātmānaṃ santaḥ manyante nityaśaḥ ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「善き人々との交わりにより磨かれ、汚れなき美しい言葉という清水によって、気高き者は自己の内奥が洗い清められたと常に感じる。ゆえに、徳ある者と絶えず親しみ、雅やかな対話を重ねることで、彼らは自らをつねに浄められているとみなす。」

Educational Q&A
Association with the virtuous and listening to (or speaking) well-formed, pure words functions like cleansing water: it purifies one’s inner self and sustains moral clarity.
Yudhiṣṭhira is articulating a dharma-centered reflection: he explains how the company of good people and their refined conversation continually purify a person, framing ethical growth as something nurtured through sat-saṅga and disciplined speech.
