आपद्धर्मनिर्णयः — विश्वामित्र-श्वपचसंवादः
Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
तूष्णीं भव न ते सौम्य त्वरा कार्या न सम्भ्रम: | वयमेवात्र कालज्ञा न काल: परिहास्यते
tūṣṇīṃ bhava na te saumya tvarā kāryā na sambhramaḥ | vayam evātra kālajñā na kālaḥ parihāsyate ||
ဘီရှ္မက ပြောသည်– «နူးညံ့သူရေ၊ တိတ်တိတ်နေပါ။ အလျင်အမြန်လုပ်ရန်မလို၊ စိတ်လှုပ်ရှားရန်လည်းမလို။ ဤနေရာ၌ ငါတို့ကိုယ်တိုင် အချိန်ကာလမှန်ကို သိကြ၏။ ကာလကို ပေါ့ပေါ့ပါးပါး မယူဆရ»။

Educational Q&A
Maintain composure and restraint; do not rush or panic. Wise action depends on understanding the right moment (kāla), and Time/destiny should never be treated frivolously.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction-setting, Bhishma addresses a listener with calming counsel, urging silence and steadiness, emphasizing that those present know the proper timing and that one must not make light of Time’s power.
