चारित्रमात्मन: पश्यंश्रन्द्रशुद्धमनामयम् । धर्मात्मा लभते कीर्ति प्रेत्य चेह यथासुखम्
cāritram ātmanaḥ paśyañ chandraśuddham anāmayam | dharmātmā labhate kīrtiṁ pretya ceha yathāsukham ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: ຜູ້ໃດພິຈາລະນາຈາຣິດຂອງຕົນໃຫ້ເຫັນວ່າບໍລິສຸດດັ່ງດວງຈັນ—ສະຫວ່າງ, ບໍ່ມີມົນທິນ, ບໍ່ມີຕຳນິ—ຜູ້ນັ້ນເປັນຄົນມີທຳ ຈະໄດ້ຊື່ສຽງດີ ແລະຄວາມສຸກອັນຄວນຄ່າ ທັງໃນໂລກນີ້ ແລະໃນໂລກໜ້າ.

Moral self-examination and purity of conduct—likened to the moon’s spotless brightness—lead to enduring benefits: good reputation and genuine happiness, both in this life and beyond.
In Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira on righteous living, emphasizing that a person’s inner character and its purity determine their worldly honor and posthumous welfare.
