Parāśara’s Instruction
मया पाशुपतं दक्ष शुभमुत्पादितं पुरा । तस्य चीर्णस्य तत् सम्यक् फलं भवति पुष्कलम् | तच्चास्तु ते महाभाग त्यज्यतां मानसो ज्वर:
mayā pāśupataṁ dakṣa śubham utpāditaṁ purā | tasya cīrṇasya tat samyak phalaṁ bhavati puṣkalam | taccāstu te mahābhāga tyajyatāṁ mānaso jvaraḥ ||
ພີສະມະໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ: «ໂອ ດັກສະ, ດົນນານມາແລ້ວ ຂ້າໄດ້ກໍ່ຕັ້ງວຣະຕະອັນເປັນມົງຄຸນ ຊື່ ປາຊຸປະຕະ (Pāśupata). ເມື່ອປະຕິບັດຢ່າງຖືກຕ້ອງ ແລະດຳລົງຊີວິດຕາມມັນ ຜົນຂອງມັນຈະສົມບູນ ແລະອຸດົມ. ຂໍໃຫ້ຜົນນັ້ນມາຮອດເຈົ້າ ໂອ ຜູ້ມີກຽດ; ຈົ່ງປ່ອຍວາງໄຂ້ຮ້ອນແຫ່ງຄວາມກັງວົນໃນໃຈ».

Educational Q&A
Properly performed spiritual discipline yields abundant, wholesome results; therefore one should practice with correctness and then relinquish inner agitation—anxiety is portrayed as a ‘fever’ to be abandoned once one is grounded in dharma and observance.
Bhīṣma addresses Dakṣa, recalling an auspicious Śiva-related observance (the Pāśupata vow) that he had instituted earlier. He assures Dakṣa that its correctly practiced performance brings rich fruit and urges him to give up mental distress.
