Jñāna-plava (The Raft of Knowledge): Svabhāva, Prajñā, and the Ascent to Ātmajñāna
पक््वविद्या महाप्राज्ञा जितक्रोधा जितेन्द्रिया: । मनसा कर्मणा वाचा नापराध्यन्ति करहिचित्
pakvavidyā mahāprājñā jitakrodhā jitendriyāḥ | manasā karmaṇā vācā nāparādhyanti karhicit ||
Disse Jaigiṣavya: Aqueles cujo aprendizado amadureceu em verdadeira sabedoria são grandes em entendimento. Tendo vencido a ira e dominado os sentidos, jamais cometem ofensa contra alguém—nem em pensamento, nem em ato, nem em palavra.

Educational Q&A
True education is measured by character: the genuinely wise conquer anger and the senses, and therefore avoid harming or offending others in thought, word, and deed.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and right conduct, the speaker Jaigiṣavya describes the qualities of the truly learned—those whose knowledge has matured into disciplined, non-offensive behavior.
