Daśa-Karmapatha: Restraints of Body, Speech, and Mind (दश कर्मपथ)
अनभिध्या परस्वेषु सर्वसत्त्वेषु सौहदम् । कर्मणां फलमस्तीति त्रिविधं मनसा चरेत्
anabhidhyā parasveṣu sarvasattveṣu saudham | karmaṇāṁ phalam astīti trividhaṁ manasā caret |
Sinabi ni Bhishma: “Linangin sa isip ang tatlong disiplina: huwag pagnasaan ang pag-aari ng iba, panatilihin ang mabuting kalooban sa lahat ng nilalang, at panghawakan ang paniniwalang ang gawa ay tiyak na may bunga. Ito ang dapat isagawa nang palagian.”

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches three mental observances essential to dharma: do not covet others’ wealth, maintain goodwill toward all beings, and trust that actions inevitably yield results (karma-phala). These inner attitudes shape ethical conduct and restrain mental wrongdoing.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma addresses moral discipline, emphasizing that righteousness begins in the mind. He lists three inner practices to be maintained continually as part of ethical training.
