Mahabharata — Shalya Parva, Shloka 30
कृतं भवद्धि: सदृशमनुरूपमिवात्मन:
kṛtaṃ bhavaddhiḥ sadṛśam anurūpam ivātmanaḥ
ସଞ୍ଜୟ କହିଲେ—ଯାହା କରାଗଲା, ତାହା ତୁମ ବୁଦ୍ଧିକୁ ଯଥାର୍ଥ ଭାବେ ମେଳ ଖାଏ; ଯଥୋଚିତ ଓ ଶୋଭନ, ମନେ ହୁଏ ତୁମ ସ୍ୱଭାବ ସହ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବେ ସମନ୍ୱିତ।

Educational Q&A
Actions should accord with one’s discernment and inner character; what is ethically ‘fitting’ (anurūpa) is that which aligns with sound judgment (dhiḥ) and one’s true nature (ātman).
Sañjaya reports and evaluates an action just taken, affirming to his listener that it was appropriate and consistent with the person’s own judgment and disposition.
