Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 61
दीक्षाकालेषु सर्वेषु यः पठेन्नियतो द्विज: । न्यायवानात्मनिरत: क्षान्तो दान्तोडनसूयक:
dīkṣākāleṣu sarveṣu yaḥ paṭhennīyato dvijaḥ | nyāyavān ātmanirataḥ kṣānto dānto 'nasūyakaḥ ||
Wika ni Bhishma: Sa bawat pagkakataon ng pagtanggap ng diksha at panata, ang disiplinadong dwija na bumibigkas ng mga pangalang ito ayon sa tuntunin ay nagiging makatarungan, matatag sa loob, mapagtiis, may pagpipigil-sa-sarili, at malaya sa paghanap ng kapintasan o inggit.

Educational Q&A
Disciplined recitation at sacred vow-occasions is presented as a means to cultivate dharmic character—justice, inner steadiness, patience, self-control, and freedom from envy or fault-finding.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma (Anuśāsana Parva), he describes the moral and psychological qualities that arise for a regulated dvija who recites the prescribed names during times of dīkṣā and ritual observance.
