ज्येष्ठ-कनिष्ठ-धर्मः — Duties of Elders and Juniors
Anuśāsana-parva 108
द्विजच्छेदं न कुर्वीत भुक्त्वा न च समाचरेत् । रातमें न स्वयं डटकर भोजन करे और न दूसरेको ही डटकर भोजन करावे। भोजन करके दौड़े नहीं। ब्राह्मणोंका वध कभी न करे
dvijacchedaṃ na kurvīta bhuktvā na ca samācaret | rātrame na svayaṃ daṭakara bhojana kare aura na dūsareko hī daṭakara bhojana karāve | bhojana karke dauṛe nahīṃ | brāhmaṇoṃkā vadha kabhī na kare |
Bhīṣma berkata: “Jangan sekali-kali melakukan kekerasan terhadap golongan dwija (yang ‘dua kali lahir’), terutama Brahmana. Setelah makan, jangan berkelakuan tidak wajar. Pada waktu malam, jangan makan dengan sikap memaksa atau menindas, dan jangan pula memaksa orang lain makan demikian. Sesudah makan, jangan bergegas berlari-lari. Di atas segalanya, jangan membunuh Brahmana.”

Educational Q&A
Maintain disciplined, non-violent conduct: do not harm the twice-born (especially Brahmins), behave properly after meals, avoid domineering behavior around food, and never commit Brahmin-killing.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma continues his dharma-instruction, laying down practical rules of personal conduct and strong prohibitions against violence toward Brahmins.
