सायं प्रातश्न वृद्धानां शृणुयात् पुष्कला गिर: । श्रुतमाप्रोति हि नर: सततं वृद्धसेवया
sāyaṃ prātaś ca vṛddhānāṃ śṛṇuyāt puṣkalā giraḥ | śrutam āpnoti hi naraḥ satataṃ vṛddha-sevayā ||
ພີດສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ຕອນແລງ ແລະຕອນເຊົ້າ ຄວນຟັງຄຳສອນອັນຫຼາກຫຼາຍຂອງຜູ້ເຖົ້າແກ່ໃຫ້ຄົບຖ້ວນ. ເພາະດ້ວຍການຮັບໃຊ້ຜູ້ເຖົ້າແກ່ຢ່າງສະເໝີ ມະນຸດຈຶ່ງໄດ້ຮັບຄວາມຮູ້ຕາມຄຳພີ ແລະຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈອັນໝັ້ນຄົງ».

Regularly listen to the counsel of elders—especially at the disciplined times of dawn and dusk—and serve them consistently; such vṛddha-sevā becomes a means to truly acquire and internalize śruta (scriptural and traditional learning).
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira on right conduct (ācāra), emphasizing reverence for elders and the practical method of learning through attentive listening and continual service.
