Adhyāya 214: Tapas Redefined—Perpetual Discipline, Hospitality, and the Ethics of Eating (तपः-निरूपणम्, विघसाशी-अतिथिप्रिय-धर्मः)
सुदुष्करं ब्रह्मचर्यमुपायं तत्र मे शृणु । सम्प्रदीप्तमुदीर्ण च निगृह्लीयाद् द्विजो रज:
suduṣkaraṃ brahmacaryam upāyaṃ tatra me śṛṇu | sampradīptam udīrṇaṃ ca nigṛhlīyād dvijo rajaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“梵行极难守持。且听我所说其法：当罗阇斯（rajas）之势一经点燃、渐次上涌而开始显现时，二生者（dvija）应当立刻加以制伏。”

Educational Q&A
Brahmacarya is difficult, so one must use a practical method: the moment passionate agitation (rajas) begins to flare up and grow, it should be checked immediately through restraint and disciplined vigilance.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and conduct, Bhīṣma continues advising (to Yudhiṣṭhira) on ethical self-governance, here focusing on how a dvija should preserve brahmacarya by promptly restraining rising rajas.
