Shloka 6

वेत्ति ज्ञानविसर्ग च निग्रहानुग्रहं तथा । यथोक्त वृत्तेर्थीरस्य क्षेमाश्रमपदं भवेत्‌,जो तत्त्वज्ञान, सर्वत्याग, इन्द्रियसंयम तथा प्राणियोंपर अनुग्रह करना जानता है तथा जिसका पहले कहे अनुसार उत्तम आचार-विचार है, उस धीर पुरुषको कल्याणमय गृहस्थाश्रमसे मिलनेवाले फलकी प्राप्ति होती है

vetti jñāna-visargaṃ ca nigrahānugrahaṃ tathā | yathokta-vṛtter dhīrasya kṣemāśrama-padaṃ bhavet ||

Bhishma berkata: Orang yang teguh, yang memahami cara menyampaikan pengetahuan dengan tepat, dan yang mengetahui kedua-duanya—pengekangan diri (nigraha) serta anugerah belas kasih (anugraha); yang tingkah lakunya selaras dengan ajaran—maka orang bijaksana itu mencapai keadaan yang aman dan berkat (serta buah pahala) yang terkait dengan āśrama perumah tangga (gṛhastha) apabila dijalani dengan benar.

Educational Q&A

Rightly lived householder life becomes spiritually fruitful when grounded in (1) proper imparting of knowledge, (2) self-restraint, (3) compassionate benevolence toward beings, and (4) conduct aligned with established dharmic instruction.

In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising on dharma and right living; here he characterizes the ‘dhīra’ (steadfast person) whose disciplined and compassionate conduct qualifies him to attain the auspicious security and merit associated with the householder stage.
