Maintain ritual and moral discipline: perform pacificatory offerings and sustain Savitrī (Gāyatrī) recitation, and practice mindful restraint in daily habits—symbolized by eating only while seated, never while walking.
In Bhīṣma’s dharma-instructions (Anuśāsana Parva), he lays down practical rules of conduct and observance, linking Vedic practice (śānti-homa, sāvitrī-japa) with everyday etiquette to cultivate steadiness and purity.
