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 |

ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ଦ୍ୱିଜଙ୍କ (ବିଶେଷକରି ବ୍ରାହ୍ମଣଙ୍କ) ଉପରେ ହିଂସା କେବେ ନ କର। ଭୋଜନ ପରେ ଅନୁଚିତ ଆଚରଣ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ। ରାତିରେ ନିଜେ ଜୋରକରି ଭୋଜନ କରିବେ ନାହିଁ, ଅନ୍ୟକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେପରି ଭୋଜନ କରାଇବେ ନାହିଁ। ଭୋଜନ କରି ଦୌଡ଼ିବେ ନାହିଁ। ସର୍ବୋପରି ବ୍ରାହ୍ମଣବଧ କେବେ ନ କର।

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.
