Shloka 22
एतान्येव जितान्याहु: प्रशमाच्च त्रयोदश । एते हि धार्तराष्ट्राणां सर्वे दोषास्त्रयोदश
etāny eva jitāny āhuḥ praśamāc ca trayodaśa | ete hi dhārtarāṣṭrāṇāṃ sarve doṣās trayodaśa ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ຄວາມຜິດພາດທັງສິບສາມນີ້ ເຂົາກ່າວວ່າ ຖືກພິຊິດໄດ້ດ້ວຍການຂົ່ມໃຈຕົນ ແລະ ຄວາມສະຫງົບພາຍໃນ. ເພາະວ່າ ນີ້ແມ່ນຄວາມບົກພ່ອງສິບສາມປະການທີ່ມີໃນບຸດຂອງທຣິຕະຣາສະຕຣະ. ເຈົ້າເລືອກຮັບສັດຈະ ແລະ ຄົບຄ້າກັບຜູ້ດີມີຄຸນທຳ; ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ດ້ວຍວິໄນແຫ່ງສັນຕິ ເຈົ້າຈຶ່ງພິຊິດຄວາມບົກພ່ອງເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນໄດ້.»

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that inner calm and disciplined self-restraint (praśama) is the means to conquer a set of thirteen moral faults; ethical victory is achieved not by force but by pacifying the mind and restraining impulses.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction to the king, Bhishma continues his counsel on governance and personal conduct, pointing to the Kauravas as an example of people in whom these faults were present, and emphasizing that one should overcome such defects through peace and the guidance of the virtuous.
