Sandhi–Vigraha in Āpada: The Mouse and the Cat (सन्धिविग्रहापदि—मूषकमार्जारसंवादः)
इदं कायव्यचरितं यो नित्यमनुचिन्तयेत् । नारण्येभ्यो हि भूतेभ्यो भयं प्राप्रोति किंचन,जो प्रतिदिन कायव्यके इस चरित्रका चिन्तन करता है, उसे वनवासी प्राणियोंसे किंचिन्मात्र भी भय नहीं प्राप्त होता
idaṃ kāyavyacaritaṃ yo nityam anucintayet | nāraṇyebhyo hi bhūtebhyo bhayaṃ prāpnoti kiṃcana ||
毗湿摩说道：“凡恒常思惟此一《迦耶毗耶》(Kāyavya) 行持之记者，纵在林野，也不致因林栖诸生而生丝毫恐惧。其旨在于：长久忆念典范之戒律与正行，能使心志坚定，消除忧惧，即便身处荒林险境亦然。”

Educational Q&A
Regular contemplation on an exemplar of right conduct (Kāyavya’s carita) cultivates inner steadiness, so that external threats—symbolized by wild forest creatures—no longer generate fear.
Bhīṣma is concluding a didactic point: he recommends daily reflection on the story of Kāyavya’s conduct and states its fruit (phala)—freedom from fear even in the wilderness.
