स्त्रीस्वभावप्रश्नः — Nārada and Pañcacūḍā on Strī-svabhāva
Anuśāsana-parva 38
तान् पूजयस्व सततं दानेन परिचर्यया । यदीच्छसि महीं भोक्तुमिमां सागरमेखलाम्,युधिष्ठिर! यदि तुम इस समुद्रपर्यन्त पृथ्वीका राज्य भोगना चाहते हो तो दान और सेवाके द्वारा सदा ब्राह्मणोंकी पूजा करते रहो
tān pūjayasva satataṃ dānena paricaryayā | yadīcchasi mahīṃ bhoktum imāṃ sāgaramekhalām, yudhiṣṭhira ||
毗湿摩说道：“当以布施与恭敬侍奉，恒常礼敬他们。若你愿享有这为大海所环带之大地的王权，噢，坚战（Yudhiṣṭhira），便当以此法不绝地尊崇婆罗门。”

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that stable and righteous kingship depends on continual reverence toward brāhmaṇas and the learned—expressed not merely in words but through concrete acts: generosity (dāna) and attentive service (paricaryā).
In the Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs King Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and royal conduct. Here he links Yudhiṣṭhira’s wish to rule the whole earth (“ocean-girdled”) with the duty to honor brāhmaṇas through gifts and service.
