Kīṭopākhyāna: Prajā-pālana as Kṣatra-vrata and the Attainment of Brāhmaṇya

न भयं विद्यते जातु नरस्येह दयावत: । दयावतामिमे लोका: परे चापि तपस्विनाम्‌

na bhayaṁ vidyate jātu narasyeha dayāvataḥ | dayāvatām ime lokāḥ pare cāpi tapasvinām ||

Bhīṣma dạy rằng: “Ở đời này, người có lòng từ bi chẳng cần sợ hãi. Với những ai giàu lòng thương xót—và với các bậc khổ hạnh chuyên tu tapasyā—cả kiếp này lẫn kiếp sau đều trở nên an lành và vững chãi.”

Educational Q&A

Compassion (dayā) removes fear and brings well-being; when paired with ascetic discipline (tapas), it benefits a person in both this world and the next.

In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhishthira on dharma. Here he emphasizes a moral principle: the compassionate and the self-controlled live without fear and attain good outcomes in both realms.
