Shloka 18
त्रिवर्गविचारः
Tri-varga Deliberation: Dharma, Artha, Kāma
काम॑ क्रोधं च लोभं॑ च दर्प स्तम्भं विकत्थनम् । रोषमीर्यावमानं च नैव दान्तो निषेवते
kāmaṁ krodhaṁ ca lobhaṁ ca darpa-stambhaṁ vikatthanam | roṣam īrṣyāvamānaṁ ca naiva dānto niṣevate, kurunandana ||
毗湿摩说道：“噢，俱卢族的荣光啊，能制服其心与诸根者，决不沉溺于这些恶习——欲、怒、贪、慢、顽固执拗、夸耀自炫、暴怒、嫉妒，以及轻蔑他人。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A

In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on righteous living and governance after the war. Here he lists the faults that a self-controlled person does not practice, as part of a broader ethical training.
