Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Brahmacarya and the Formless Brahman
Udyoga Parva 44
यो नैतेभ्य: प्रच्यवेद् द्वादशभ्य: सर्वामपीमां पृथिवीं स शिष्यात् । त्रिभिद्धभ्यामेकतो वान्वितो यो नास्य स्वमस्तीति च वेदितव्यम्
yo naitebhyaḥ pracyaved dvādaśabhyaḥ sarvām apīmāṃ pṛthivīṃ sa śiṣyāt | tribhir dvābhyām ekato vānvito yo nāsya svam astīti ca veditavyam ||
Sesiapa yang tidak pernah menyimpang daripada dua belas disiplin ini layak memerintah bahkan seluruh bumi. Tetapi orang yang dikurniai hanya tiga, atau dua, atau bahkan satu daripadanya hendaklah difahami sebagai tidak mempunyai apa-apa sebagai “miliknya sendiri”—yakni bebas daripada sifat memiliki dan rasa kepunyaan.

Educational Q&A
Steadfastness in a complete set of ethical disciplines makes one truly fit to rule; partial attainment should culminate in inner renunciation—freedom from the sense of ‘mine’—so that virtue does not become a basis for pride or possession.
Sanatsujata continues his instruction on dharma and inner mastery in the Udyoga Parva context, presenting a standard of disciplined conduct for leadership and emphasizing that even limited virtue should be accompanied by non-attachment.
