Dama-pradhāna-dharma (Self-restraint as the Root of Dharma) — Śānti-parva 154
नैव बाष्पविमोक्षेण न वा श्वासकृते न च
naiva bāṣpavimokṣeṇa na vā śvāsakṛte na ca
ជាំបុកៈ «មិនមែនដោយការបង្ហូរទឹកភ្នែកតែប៉ុណ្ណោះទេ ហើយក៏មិនមែនដោយការដកដង្ហើមធ្ងន់ ឬការដកដង្ហើមវែងៗដែរ ដែលអាចបង្កើតផលវិញ្ញាណដែលបានប៉ងប្រាថ្នាឲ្យកើតឡើង»។

External signs of feeling—such as crying or sighing—are not, by themselves, proof of virtue or a means to attain the ethical/spiritual goal; genuine transformation requires inner discipline and right understanding rather than mere display.
In Shanti Parva’s didactic setting, Jambuka speaks in a teaching tone, dismissing superficial emotional expressions as insufficient, implying that true dharma is measured by conduct and inner realization rather than outward lamentation.
