Vipula’s Yogic Protection of the Guru’s Household (विपुलस्य योगरक्षा / Vipulasya Yogarakṣā)

न कामभोगान्‌ विपुलान्‌ नालंकारान्‌ न संश्रयान्‌ । तथैव बहु मन्यन्ते यथा रत्यामनुग्रहम्‌,वे न तो काम-भोगकी प्रचुर सामग्रीको, न अच्छे-अच्छे गहनोंको और न उत्तम घरोंको ही उतना अधिक महत्त्व देती हैं, जैसा कि रतिके लिये किये गये अनुग्रहको

na kāmabhogān vipulān nālaṅkārān na saṁśrayān | tathaiva bahu manyante yathā ratyām anugraham ||

Bhīṣma berkata: Wanita tidak menilai tinggi kelimpahan kenikmatan indera, perhiasan yang indah, atau tempat tinggal yang baik, sebagaimana mereka menilai layanan penuh timbang rasa yang ditunjukkan dalam keintiman.

Educational Q&A

Material comforts—pleasures, ornaments, and fine housing—do not equal the value of considerate, affectionate treatment in intimacy; relational harmony depends more on respect and kindness than on possessions.

In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma, here emphasizing a practical principle of household life: emotional consideration and tenderness are prized more than external gifts.
