त्रिवर्गविचारः
Tri-varga Deliberation: Dharma, Artha, Kāma
अवाचिनोति कर्माणि न च सम्प्रचिनोति ह । सम: सर्वेषु भूतेषु मैत्रायणगतिक्चरेत्
avācinoti karmāṇi na ca sampracīnōti ha | samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu maitrāyaṇagatiś caret ||
ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ସେ କେବଳ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହୋଇଥିବା (ପ୍ରାରବ୍ଧ) କର୍ମଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ କ୍ଷୟ କରେ, ନୂତନ କର୍ମ ସଞ୍ଚୟ କରେନାହିଁ। ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରାଣୀ ପ୍ରତି ସମଭାବ ରଖି, ମିତ୍ରଭାବରେ—ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଅଭୟ ଦେଇ—ବିଚରେ।
भीष्म उवाच
A liberated or disciplined person lives out only the already-begun karmic momentum (prārabdha) without creating new karmic bondage, because he is free from doership-ego and attachment to results; he practices impartiality and universal friendliness, giving others a sense of safety.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira about the conduct of the wise: how one should live in the world—calm, non-accumulative in karma, and benevolent toward all beings.
