अक्रोधन: सत्यवादी भूतानामविहिंसक: । अनसूयुरजिद्दाश्व शतं वर्षाणि जीवति
Translation
Disse Bhīṣma: Aquele que é sem ira, veraz, não violento para com os seres, sem espírito de censura e sem engano, vive cem anos. Que coma ao entardecer e ao amanhecer, com a mente recolhida, sem comer entre as refeições; e que não coma também a comida de śrāddha (rito pelos mortos) de outrem.
