Indra and Namuci on grief, composure, and inevitability
इन्द्रियाण्यपि सूक्ष्माणि दृष्ट््वा पूर्वश्रुतागमात् । चिन्तयन्नानुपर्येति त्रिभिरेवान्वितो गुणै:
indriyāṇy api sūkṣmāṇi dṛṣṭvā pūrvaśrutāgamāt | cintayann ānuparyeti tribhir evānvito guṇaiḥ ||
ଭୀଷ୍ମ କହିଲେ—ପୂର୍ବଶ୍ରୁତ ଆଗମର ପ୍ରମାଣରେ ସୂକ୍ଷ୍ମ ଇନ୍ଦ୍ରିୟଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଜାଣି, ସ୍ୱପ୍ନଦର୍ଶୀ ପୁରୁଷ ବିଷୟସଙ୍ଗର ଭାବନା କରି କରି, ସତ୍ତ୍ୱ-ରଜସ-ତମସ—ଏହି ତିନି ଗୁଣରେ ଯୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇ, ଶରୀର ଭିତରେ ହିଁ ଇଚ୍ଛାନୁସାରେ ବିଚରଣ କରେ; କାରଣ ଜାଗ୍ରତାବସ୍ଥାରେ ଦେଖା-ଶୁଣା ଆଦିରୁ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ବାସନାବଳରେ ଶବ୍ଦାଦି ବିଷୟର ପ୍ରାପ୍ତି ତାହାକୁ ହୁଏ।

Educational Q&A
Even in dream, experience is driven by subtle sense-faculties and prior impressions, and it is colored by the three guṇas. Hence ethical self-cultivation requires guarding sense-contact and training thought, because inner wandering continues even without external objects.
Bhīṣma is explaining to his listener a psychological-metaphysical account of the dreamer: the dream-experiencer, influenced by earlier learned doctrine and by the guṇas, mentally follows sense-objects and ‘roams’ within the body, constructing experience from subtle faculties and impressions.
