अनुशासनपर्व अध्याय ९३ — तपस्, सदोपवास, विघसाशन, अतिथिप्रियता
Austerity, regulated fasting, residual-eating, and hospitality
कव्यानि ज्ञाननिछेभ्य: प्रतिष्ठाप्पानि भारत । तत्र ये ब्राह्मणान् केचिन्न निन्दन्ति हि ते नरा:
kavyāni jñānaniṣṭhebhyaḥ pratiṣṭhāpyāni bhārata | tatra ye brāhmaṇān kecin na nindanti hi te narāḥ ||
毗湿摩说：“噢，婆罗多的后裔，祖先祭（śrāddha）之供品，应当恭敬而如法地陈设在安住于真知（jñāna）的婆罗门（brāhmaṇa）之前。凡不诋毁婆罗门者，方为人中可贵之士。”

Educational Q&A
Śrāddha offerings should be given with discernment to Brahmins who are established in spiritual knowledge, and ethical speech is emphasized: refraining from disparaging Brahmins is presented as a mark of true nobility.
In Bhishma’s instruction to Yudhishthira in the Anushasana Parva, he lays down norms for ancestral rites and social-religious conduct, highlighting whom to honor with śrāddha food and praising those who avoid slander of Brahmins.
