Varṇa-dharma and Rājadharma: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Inquiry and Bhīṣma’s Normative Outline (वर्णधर्म-राजधर्म-प्रश्नोत्तरम्)
यन्मां भवन्तो वक्ष्यन्ति कार्यमर्थसमन्वितम् । तदहं वै करिष्यामि नात्र कार्या विचारणा,“आपलोग मुझे जिस किसी भी प्रयोजनपूर्ण कार्यके लिये आज्ञा देंगे, उसे मैं अवश्य पूरा करूँगा। इसमें कोई अन्यथा विचार नहीं करना चाहिये”
yan māṃ bhavanto vakṣyanti kāryam arthasamanvitam | tad ahaṃ vai kariṣyāmi nātra kāryā vicāraṇā ||
ໄວນຍະ ກ່າວວ່າ: “ສິ່ງໃດກໍຕາມທີ່ທ່ານທັງຫຼາຍຈະສັ່ງໃຫ້ຂ້ອຍເຮັດ ໂດຍເປັນວຽກທີ່ມີເປົ້າໝາຍແລະປະໂຫຍດ ຂ້ອຍຈະເຮັດໃຫ້ສຳເລັດແນ່ນອນ. ໃນເລື່ອງນີ້ ບໍ່ຄວນມີການລັງເລ ຫຼືຄິດທົດທວນອື່ນໃດ.”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes steadfast commitment to duty: when a task is purposeful and ethically aligned, one should execute it without wavering, hesitation, or needless second-guessing.
Bhishma, speaking with deference to his interlocutors (“bhavantaḥ”), expresses readiness to carry out whatever meaningful task they assign, signaling disciplined obedience and firm resolve within the counsel-oriented setting of the Shanti Parva.
