Shloka 63
पापात्म-धर्मात्म-लक्षणम् तथा निर्वेदेन मोक्षमार्गः | Marks of the Sinful and the Righteous; Dispassion (Nirveda) as a Path to Liberation
हन्या इति समादेश: शस्त्रपाणौ सुते स्थिते । विनीते प्रसवत्यर्थे विवासे चात्मकर्मसु
hanyā iti samādeśaḥ śastrapāṇau sute sthite | vinīte prasavatyarthe vivāse cātmakarmasu ||
毗湿摩说道：纵有命令曰“杀了她！”，而乔达摩仙人的儿子手执兵刃立于其前，他也未急趋于暴行。圣者为行必需之事——如持诵（japa）与禅定——而出外之时，那名为“迟行者”的儿子吉罗迦林，果如其名，仍能自持克制，沉思熟虑，权衡此事何者为正。正因其谦抑与审慎，弑母之令终未得行，母命遂保全。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when a command to punish seems authoritative, one must pause and examine dharma. Chirakārin’s restraint shows that self-control and moral deliberation can avert irreversible harm; obedience is not higher than righteous discernment.
Gautama, leaving for his personal religious duties (such as japa and meditation), has issued an order—‘Kill her.’ His son stands armed but, being disciplined and thoughtful, delays and reflects. Because of this delay and ethical consideration, the mother is not killed.
