स वेदे मोक्षशास्त्रे च स्वे च शास्त्रे कृतश्रम: । इन्द्रियाणि समाधाय शशास वसुधामिमाम्
sa vede mokṣaśāstre ca sve ca śāstre kṛtaśramaḥ | indriyāṇi samādhāya śaśāsa vasudhām imām ||
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ພຣະອົງໄດ້ພາກພຽນຢ່າງລຶກຊຶ້ງໃນພຣະເວດ, ໃນຄຳສອນແຫ່ງໂມກສະ, ແລະໃນສາດຂອງພຣະອົງເອງວ່າດ້ວຍລັດຖະການ. ພຣະອົງຮວບຮວມອິນທຣີຍະໃຫ້ຢູ່ໃນການຄວບຄຸມ ແລະຕັ້ງຈິດໃຫ້ໝັ້ນຄົງ, ແລ້ວຈຶ່ງປົກຄອງແຜ່ນດິນນີ້ດ້ວຍອຳນາດແຫ່ງການຊະນະຕົນເອງ.»

Educational Q&A
A ruler’s authority should rest on disciplined learning (Veda, mokṣa-teachings, and statecraft) and on mastery over the senses; inner restraint is presented as the ethical foundation of effective governance.
Bhishma describes an exemplary king/administrator, emphasizing that he studied sacred knowledge and political science and, by concentrating and controlling his senses, successfully governed the earth.
