चिरकारि-उपाख्यानम् / The Exemplum of Cirakārī: Deliberation Before Irreversible Action
उभयत्र सुखोदर्क इह चैव परत्र च | अलब्ध्वा निपुणं धर्म पाप: पापेन युज्यते
ubhayatra sukhodarka iha caiva paratra ca | alabdhvā nipuṇaṃ dharmaṃ pāpaḥ pāpena yujyate ||
धर्माचे पालन केल्याने पुढे या लोकातही आणि परलोकातही सुख मिळते. पण जो पापी विवेकाने धर्माचा आश्रय घेत नाही, तो पापातच गुंतून त्याच्या दुःखरूप फळाचा भागी होतो.

Educational Q&A
Dharma, when properly understood and adopted, produces well-being both in this life and beyond; neglecting dharma through lack of discernment leads one into sin and its inevitable suffering.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising on righteous conduct and its results, contrasting the two paths: thoughtful adherence to dharma versus careless rejection that binds a person to sinful outcomes.
