Shloka 16
न तेषां भिद्यते वृत्तं यज्ञा: स्वाध्यायकर्म च । आचार: कारणं चैव धर्मश्वैकस्त्रयं पुन:
na teṣāṁ bhidyate vṛttaṁ yajñāḥ svādhyāya-karma ca | ācāraḥ kāraṇaṁ caiva dharmaś caikaḥ trayaṁ punaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“在这样的圣贤之人身上，他们既定的生活方式从不紊乱——他们的祭祀、对吠陀的自习与诵读（svādhyāya），以及其他神圣职责亦不受阻。于他们之中，行持（ācāra）、阐明行持的权威根源（吠陀与论典 śāstra），与法（dharma）并不相违；三者同处一体之和谐。”

Educational Q&A
True saints maintain an unbroken moral discipline: their conduct, their Vedic study, and their sacrificial duties remain steady, and their lived practice (ācāra), scriptural authority (Veda-śāstra), and dharma mutually confirm one another as a single coherent whole.
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma (Anuśāsana Parva), he describes the hallmark of the righteous: their daily life and religious observances do not falter, and their behavior aligns naturally with scriptural teaching and the principles of dharma.
