Aṣṭāvakra and the Woman: Disclosure, Permission, and Marital Resolution (अनुशासन पर्व, अध्याय २२)

तस्य स्वादुतयान्नस्य न प्रभूतं चकार सः । व्यगमच्चाप्यह:शेषं ततः संध्यागमत्‌ पुन:

tasya svādutayānnasya na prabhūtaṃ cakāra saḥ | vyagamac cāpy ahaḥśeṣaṃ tataḥ sandhyāgamat punaḥ ||

Bhīṣma nói: Vì bị mê hoặc bởi vị ngon của món ăn ấy, người ấy không sao tự xem là đã đủ—không thể thốt lên: “Đủ rồi, xong rồi.” Chính trong sự buông mình ấy mà phần còn lại của ngày trôi tuột đi, và rồi hoàng hôn lại một lần nữa kéo đến.

Educational Q&A

Unchecked attraction to sensory pleasure (here, taste) can dull discernment of sufficiency and cause neglect of time-bound duties; dharma requires moderation and awareness of time.

A person becomes so absorbed in the sweetness of the food that he cannot stop or declare it enough; as he continues, the day passes and evening twilight arrives again, implying missed or delayed obligations.
