Kośa, Bala, and Maryādā: Treasury, Capacity, and Enforceable Limits (कोश-बल-मर्यादा)
अविज्ञानादयोगो हि पुरुषस्पोपजायते । विज्ञानादपि योगश्व योगो भूतिकर: पर:
avijñānād ayogo hi puruṣasyopajāyate | vijñānād api yogaś ca yogo bhūtikaraḥ paraḥ ||
ພີດສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ເນື່ອງຈາກຂາດຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈທີ່ແທ້ ບຸກຄົນຈຶ່ງຕົກຢູ່ໃນຄວາມບໍ່ຮູ້ຈັກນຳໃຊ້—ເມື່ອຄວາມລຳບາກເກີດຂຶ້ນ ລາວບໍ່ອາດຈຳແນກເສັ້ນທາງທີ່ເໝາະສົມ. ແຕ່ເມື່ອມີຄວາມເຂົ້າໃຈ ອຸບາຍທີ່ຖືກຕ້ອງຈະປາກົດຊັດ; ແລະອຸບາຍທີ່ເລືອກຢ່າງຖືກຕ້ອງ ແລະນຳໄປປະຕິບັດ ແມ່ນເຫດສູງສຸດແຫ່ງຄວາມຮັ່ງມີ ແລະຄວາມຜາສຸກ.»
भीष्म उवाच
Ignorance produces 'ayoga'—the failure to find or apply the right course of action—whereas knowledge reveals the proper means; such rightly applied means is the supreme cause of prosperity and well-being.
In Shanti Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhishthira on dharma and practical governance. Here he emphasizes that clear understanding is what enables effective action in times of crisis, and that correct action grounded in knowledge leads to flourishing.
