Praise of Ācāra as the Basis of Longevity, Fame, and Prosperity
वाग्यतो नैकवस्त्रश्ष नासंविष्ट: कदाचन । भूमौ सदैव नाश्नीयान्नानासीनो न शब्दवत्
Bhīṣma uvāca | vāgyato naikavastraś ca nāsaṁviṣṭaḥ kadācana | bhūmau sadaiva nāśnīyān nānāsīno na śabdavat ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: “ເວລາກິນອາຫານ ຄວນສຳລວມວາຈາ ແລະຢູ່ໃນຄວາມງຽບ. ບໍ່ຄວນກິນໂດຍນຸ່ງຜ້າພຽງຜືນດຽວ ຫຼືກິນໃນທ່ານອນ. ບໍ່ຄວນກິນໂດຍວາງອາຫານໄວ້ເທິງດິນໂລ່ງ. ບໍ່ຄວນກິນຂະນະຢືນ ຫຼືນັ່ງທ່າບໍ່ເໝາະ ຫຼືຂະນະເວົ້າຈາ ແລະເຮັດສຽງອື້ອອຶງ.”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches disciplined, respectful conduct while eating: maintain silence, be properly clothed, sit properly, avoid reclining or standing, do not place food directly on the ground, and avoid noisy or talkative eating—treating food as a dharmic act requiring restraint and cleanliness.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhishthira on dharma and proper conduct (ācāra). Here he gives practical rules of meal-time behavior as part of ethical self-regulation and purity in daily life.
