Shloka 11
कालनिर्णयः, युगधर्मवर्णनम्, सृष्टिक्रमश्च
Time-Reckoning, Yuga-Dharma, and the Sequence of Creation
बुद्धिलाभात् तु पुरुष: सर्व तुदति किल्बिषम् | विपाप्मा लभते सत्त्वं सत्त्वस्थ: सम्प्रसीदति
buddhilābhāt tu puruṣaḥ sarvaṃ tudati kilbiṣam | vipāpmā labhate sattvaṃ sattvasthaḥ samprasīdati ||
释迦罗（因陀罗）说道：“由获得真实的觉知，人便能洞穿并涤除一切罪垢。离罪之后，得‘萨埵’之清净；安住于萨埵，心神便圆满寂静而明澈。”

Educational Q&A
Discernment (buddhi) is presented as a purifying power: when right understanding arises, it eradicates moral defilement (kilbiṣa). From that purification comes sattva—clarity and goodness—and when one abides in sattva, the mind settles into deep serenity (samprasāda).
In Śānti Parva’s instruction-oriented setting, Śakra (Indra) speaks a concise doctrinal point: wisdom is not merely intellectual but ethically transformative, leading from the removal of sin to the establishment of sattva and finally to inner peace.
