Umā’s Inquiry and the Manifestation of the Third Eye (उमा–प्रश्नः तृतीयनेत्रोत्पत्तिः)
पैशुन्ये न प्रवर्तामि न ममैतन्मनोगतम् । अद्वारि न च तिष्ठामि चिरं न कथयामि च
paiśunye na pravartāmi na mamaitad manogatam | advāri na ca tiṣṭhāmi ciraṁ na kathayāmi ca ||
毗湿摩说:“我不从事诽谤,那样的念头也不入我心;我不久立于他人门前,也不长篇大论。”
भीष्म उवाच
Bhīṣma presents a discipline of speech and social behavior: avoid slander and malicious talk, do not cultivate such thoughts, do not loiter at others’ doors (a sign of meddling or dependence), and practice restraint by not speaking excessively.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues giving Yudhiṣṭhira ethical guidance, here describing personal vows/standards of conduct that uphold dharma through purity of intention and controlled speech.
