Shloka 11

इन्द्रेण वृत्रवधः, ब्रह्महत्याया अनुगमनम्, तथा च विभाजन-निवासविधानम्

Indra’s defeat of Vṛtra; pursuit by Brahmahatyā; allocation of her abodes

उत्थानेन जयेत्‌ तन्द्रीं वितर्क निश्चयाज्जयेत्‌ । मौनेन बहुभाष्यं च शौर्येण च भयं त्यजेत्‌,आलस्यको उद्योगसे और विपरीत तर्कको शास्त्रके प्रति दृढ़ विश्वाससे जीते, मौनावलम्बनद्वारा बहुत बोलनेकी आदतको और शूरवीरताके द्वारा भयको त्याग दे

utthānena jayettandrīṁ vitarka-niścayāj jayeta | maunena bahubhāṣyaṁ ca śauryeṇa ca bhayaṁ tyajet ||

ഭീഷ്മൻ പറഞ്ഞു—എഴുന്നേറ്റ് പരിശ്രമിക്കുന്നതിലൂടെ തന്ദ്രി-ആലസ്യം ജയിക്കണം; ദൃഢനിശ്ചയവും വിവേകവുംകൊണ്ട് വിരുദ്ധതർക്കവും സംശയവും ജയിക്കണം. മൗനംകൊണ്ട് അതിവാക്യം നിയന്ത്രിക്കണം; ശൗര്യത്തോടെ ഭയം ഉപേക്ഷിക്കണം.
