अहिंसा-आत्मौपम्य-उपदेशः | Instruction on Ahiṃsā and Self-Comparison Ethics
अश्रिन्यां सक्थिनी चैव ऊरू चाषाढ्योस्तथा । गुहां तु फाल्गुनी विद्यात् कृत्तिका कटिकास्तथा
aśvinyāṃ sakthinī caiva ūrū cāṣāḍhyos tathā | guhāṃ tu phālgunī vidyāt kṛttikā kaṭikās tathā ||
毗湿摩说道：“当知‘阿湿毗尼’（Aśvinī）在大腿；两‘阿沙陀’（Pūrvāṣāḍhā 与 Uttarāṣāḍhā）在两侧上腿；两‘帕尔古尼’（Pūrvaphālgunī 与 Uttaraphālgunī）在隐秘之处；而‘克利底迦’（Kṛttikā）在髋部。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches a contemplative correspondence between nakṣatras and specific body regions, encouraging the view of the human body as a sacred microcosm of the cosmos, which supports disciplined, reverent living.
Bhīṣma is instructing (as part of his Anuśāsana teachings) how to ‘know’ the placement of certain lunar mansions in bodily locations—Aśvinī, the two Āṣāḍhās, the two Phālgunīs, and Kṛttikā—within a larger framework of dharmic and ritual-cosmological instruction.
