Shloka 15
Umā’s Inquiry and the Manifestation of the Third Eye (उमा–प्रश्नः तृतीयनेत्रोत्पत्तिः)
कुट॒म्बार्थे समानीतं यर्त्किंचित् कार्यमेव तु । प्रातरुत्थाय तत्सर्व कारयामि करोमि च,'सारे कुट॒म्बके लिये जो कुछ कार्य आ पड़ता, वह सब मैं सबेरे ही उठकर कर-करा लेती थी
kuṭambārthe samānītaṃ yat kiṃcit kāryam eva tu | prātar utthāya tat sarvaṃ kārayāmi karomi ca ||
Bhishma disse: “Qualquer tarefa—por menor que fosse—que surgisse em favor da casa, eu me levantava cedo e cuidava de tudo—mandando fazer e também fazendo com as próprias mãos.”

Educational Q&A
Dharma is expressed through diligent, timely, and responsible care for one’s household: one should not neglect even small duties, and should both supervise and personally contribute where needed.
In Bhishma’s discourse on conduct (Anushasana Parva), the speaker describes a model of household management—rising early and ensuring that all family-related tasks are completed, whether by arranging them or doing them personally.
