Shloka 12
सर्वे च नियतात्मानो बालानां संविभागिन: । उपेत्य शनकैर्यान्ति न सेवन्ति रजस्वलाम् | स्वर्गतिं चैव गच्छन्ति तथैव शुभकर्मिण:
sarve ca niyatātmāno bālānāṁ saṁvibhāginaḥ | upetya śanakair yānti na sevanti rajasvalām || svargatiṁ caiva gacchanti tathaiva śubhakarmiṇaḥ ||
ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ସେମାନେ ସମସ୍ତେ ମନୋନିୟମୀ; ଶିଶୁମାନଙ୍କୁ ତାଙ୍କର ଅଂଶ ବଣ୍ଟନ କରିଦିଅନ୍ତି। ନିକଟକୁ ଯାଇ ମଧ୍ୟ ଧୀରେ, ସଂଯମରେ ଚାଲନ୍ତି। ରଜସ୍ୱଳା ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ସହ ସେମାନେ ସମ୍ପର୍କ କରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ। ଏଭଳି ଶୁଭ-ଧର୍ମକର୍ମ କରି ସେମାନେ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗଗତି ପାଆନ୍ତି।

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma highlights disciplined, considerate conduct—self-restraint, fair provision for dependents (children), gentle behavior, and observance of sexual/purity restraints—as a dharmic lifestyle that yields merit and leads to svarga.
In Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues advising on righteous conduct by describing the practices of virtuous people: they control the mind, distribute shares to children, behave gently, avoid intercourse with a menstruating woman, and thereby attain heaven through auspicious deeds.
