Adhyāya 208: Aṅgirasī-kanyāḥ
Enumeration of Aṅgiras’ daughters and attribute-names
नियच्छन्ति परां बुद्धिं शिष्टाचारान्विता जना: । उपाध्यायमते युक्ता: स्थित्या धर्मार्थदर्शिन:
niyacchanti parāṁ buddhiṁ śiṣṭācārānvitā janāḥ | upādhyāyamate yuktāḥ sthityā dharmārthadarśinaḥ ||
शिष्टाचाराने युक्त लोक आपली उच्च बुद्धीही संयमित व स्थिर ठेवतात. आचार्यांच्या उपदेशाशी सुसंगत राहून ते मर्यादित आचरण करतात आणि त्यामुळेच धर्म व खरे हित यांचे यथार्थ दर्शन करतात.
व्याध उवाच
True discernment arises from self-restraint and steady conduct shaped by śiṣṭācāra (the norms of the wise) and guidance from a teacher; such discipline enables one to recognize both dharma (right) and artha (genuine benefit).
The hunter (Vyādha), instructing a seeker in ethical living, emphasizes that moral clarity is not merely theoretical: it is stabilized through disciplined life-practice and deference to sound instruction from a preceptor.
