आपद्धर्मनिर्णयः — विश्वामित्र-श्वपचसंवादः
Apaddharma Determination: Dialogue of Viśvāmitra and the Śvapaca
'सौम्य चुप रहो, तुम्हें जल्दी नहीं करनी चाहिये, घबरानेकी कोई आवश्यकता नहीं है। मैं समयको खूब पहचानता हूँ, ठीक अवसर आनेपर मैं कभी नहीं चूकूँगा ।।
Saumya, cupa raho; tumheṃ jaldī nahīṃ karanī cāhiye, ghabarāne kī koī āvaśyakatā nahīṃ hai. Ahaṃ samayaṃ khūba pahacānatā hūṃ; ṭhīk avasara āne par maiṃ kabhī nahīṃ cūkūṅgā. Akāle kṛtyam ārabdhaṃ kartuḥ nārthāya kalpate; tad eva kāle ārabdhaṃ mahate ’rthāya kalpate.
Wika ni Bhishma: “Mabait na kaibigan, manahimik ka; huwag magpadalos-dalos—walang dapat ikabahala. Batid kong mabuti ang takbo ng Panahon; pagdating ng tamang sandali, hindi ko ito palalampasin. Ang gawaing sinimulan sa maling oras ay hindi nagdudulot ng pakinabang sa gumagawa; ngunit ang gayon ding gawain, kapag sinimulan sa wastong panahon, ay nagiging daan sa dakilang tagumpay.”

Educational Q&A
Action must be guided by kāla (right timing) and composure: the same deed fails when begun untimely, but succeeds greatly when undertaken at the proper moment.
Bhishma, in a didactic tone, calms the listener and counsels restraint, emphasizing that he understands the proper moment and will act when the opportunity is ripe.
