मनु-उपदेशः — भूत-उत्पत्ति, इन्द्रिय-निवृत्ति, तथा पर-स्वभाव-विवेकः
Manu’s Instruction on Elemental Origination, Sense-Withdrawal, and Discrimination of the Supreme Nature
इति बुद्धिगति: सर्वा व्याख्याता तव भारत | इन्द्रियाणि च सर्वाणि विजेतव्यानि धीमता
iti buddhigatiḥ sarvā vyākhyātā tava bhārata | indriyāṇi ca sarvāṇi vijetavyāni dhīmatā ||
毗湿摩说道：“如是，噢婆罗多，我已为你阐明了理智（buddhi）运行的全程与作用。如今，真正有智慧的人，当制胜一切诸根（感官），使之归于统御。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
After explaining how the intellect operates (buddhi-gati), Bhīṣma emphasizes that wisdom must culminate in practical mastery over the senses. Ethical steadiness and right conduct depend on restraining sense-impulses rather than being driven by them.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma continues instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and inner discipline. Here he closes a section on the workings of intellect and transitions to the next practical requirement for a dharmic life: conquering the senses.
