द्विजच्छेदं न कुर्वीत भुक्त्वा न च समाचरेत् । रातमें न स्वयं डटकर भोजन करे और न दूसरेको ही डटकर भोजन करावे। भोजन करके दौड़े नहीं। ब्राह्मणोंका वध कभी न करे
dvijacchedaṃ na kurvīta bhuktvā na ca samācaret | rātrame na svayaṃ daṭakara bhojana kare aura na dūsareko hī daṭakara bhojana karāve | bhojana karke dauṛe nahīṃ | brāhmaṇoṃkā vadha kabhī na kare |
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Huwag kailanman manakit ng isang ‘dalawang-ulit na isinilang’ (dvija), lalo na ng Brahmin. Pagkatapos kumain, huwag kumilos nang di-nararapat. Sa gabi, huwag kumain nang mapang-utos o mapang-api, at huwag ding pilitin ang iba na kumain sa gayong paraan. Pagkakain, huwag magmadaling tumakbo-takbo. Higit sa lahat, huwag pumatay ng mga Brahmin.”

Educational Q&A
Maintain disciplined, non-violent conduct: do not harm the twice-born (especially Brahmins), behave properly after meals, avoid domineering behavior around food, and never commit Brahmin-killing.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma continues his dharma-instruction, laying down practical rules of personal conduct and strong prohibitions against violence toward Brahmins.
