Shloka 37
योग–सांख्यसमन्वयः, रथोपमा, व्यक्त–अव्यक्तविवेकः
Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
सदा ही पर्वोपर विशेष स्नान करते, अपने अंगोंमें चन्दन लगाते और सुन्दर अलंकार धारण करते थे। स्वभावसे ही उपवास और तपमें लगे रहते थे। सबके विश्वासपात्र थे और वेदोंका स्वाध्याय किया करते थे ।।
na enān abhyudiyāt sūryo na cāpy āsan prageśayāḥ | rātrau dadhi ca saktūṁś ca nityam eva vyavarjayan ||
释迦罗说道：“黎明时从不见他们仍在酣睡；太阳不会在他们尚卧榻时升起——也就是说，他们总在日出之前醒来。并且夜间他们恒常戒绝酸乳与炒谷粉（sattu）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores disciplined daily conduct—rising before sunrise and maintaining dietary restraint—as practical expressions of self-control and austerity. Such regulated habits are portrayed as ethical supports for purity, steadiness of mind, and trustworthiness.
Śakra (Indra) describes the strict regimen of a group being discussed, emphasizing that they did not sleep into sunrise and that they avoided certain foods at night (curd and saktu). The description functions as evidence of their disciplined character.
