प्रियाणि लभते नित्यं प्रियद: प्रियकृत् तथा । प्रियो भवति भूतानामिह चैव परत्र च
bhīṣma uvāca | priyāṇi labhate nityaṃ priyadaḥ priyakṛt tathā | priyo bhavati bhūtānām iha caiva paratra ca ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຜູ້ໃດໃຫ້ສິ່ງທີ່ຄົນອື່ນຮັກ ແລະກະທຳສິ່ງທີ່ເຂົາພໍໃຈຢູ່ເປັນນິດ ຜູ້ນັ້ນຍ່ອມໄດ້ຮັບສິ່ງທີ່ຮັກຢູ່ເປັນນິດເຊັ່ນກັນ. ແລະຜູ້ນັ້ນຈະເປັນທີ່ຮັກຂອງສັດທັງປວງ ທັງໃນໂລກນີ້ ແລະໃນໂລກໜ້າ».

Delighting others through generous gifts and pleasing, considerate actions yields reciprocal benefit: one gains what is dear and becomes loved by all, with auspicious results both in this life and after death.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma instructs on dharma and right conduct. Here he states a practical moral principle: benevolence and pleasing service to others create goodwill and bring favorable outcomes in both worlds.
