Ātma-saṃyama-dharma: One-pointedness of Mind and Senses (शुक–व्यास संवादः)
सेवेत तान् समावृत्य इति धर्मेषु निश्चय: । जिन-जिन गन्धों और रसोंका ब्रह्मचारीको सेवन नहीं करना चाहिये
sevet tān samāvṛtya iti dharmeṣu niścayaḥ |
समावर्तनानंतरच त्यांचे सेवन करावे— हा धर्माचा निश्चय आहे। ज्या-ज्या गंधांचा व रसांचा ब्रह्मचार्याने सेवन करू नये, त्यांचा त्याने ब्रह्मचर्यकाळात त्याग करावा; समावर्तन-संस्कारानंतरच त्यांचे सेवन करणे योग्य आहे।

Educational Q&A
Sense-enjoyments that are restricted for a brahmacārin should be renounced during the period of studentship and may be taken up only after samāvartana; dharma is defined here as disciplined timing and restraint, not mere denial.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and right conduct, Vyāsa states a normative rule for the student stage: abstain from certain pleasures during brahmacarya and partake only after the formal completion of training marked by samāvartana.
