Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 26
Pratyakṣa–Āgama–Ācāra: Doubt, Proof, and the Practice of Dharma (प्रत्यक्ष–आगम–आचारविचारः)
तेषामृषिकृतो धर्मो धर्मिणामुपपद्यते । न कामकारात् कामोडन्य: संसेव्यो धर्मदर्शिभि:
teṣām ṛṣikṛto dharmo dharmiṇām upapadyate | na kāmakārāt kāmo 'nyaḥ saṁsevyo dharmadarśibhiḥ ||
对于依正法而住的人，诸仙圣所制定的行持之法确实相应并能结成果报。明见正法者，不应仅凭一时任性或欲望去追逐享乐；由贪欲驱使的放纵，不可作为生活之道而加以培植。

Educational Q&A
Dharma is to be lived according to the standards established by the sages, and ethical people should not treat desire as a license for indulgence. The verse emphasizes restraint and rule-governed conduct rather than pleasure pursued from mere impulse.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing about proper dharmic conduct. In context (as reflected in the accompanying explanation), the teaching is applied especially to householders: keeping marital life within Vedic discipline and practicing sense-control, not making desire the guiding principle.
