पापात्म-धर्मात्म-लक्षणम् तथा निर्वेदेन मोक्षमार्गः | Marks of the Sinful and the Righteous; Dispassion (Nirveda) as a Path to Liberation
चिरं वृद्धानुपासीत चिरमन्वास्य पूजयेत् । चिरं धर्म निषेवेत कुर्याच्चान्वेषणं चिरम्
ciraṁ vṛddhānupāsīta ciraṁ anvāsya pūjayet | ciraṁ dharmaṁ niṣeveta kuryāc cānveṣaṇaṁ ciram ||
毗湿摩说道：“当长久侍奉长者；当长久与之相处，并以敬礼奉事。亦当长久修行达摩，并长久探求、诘问达摩之义，以持久的省思与考察而求之。”

Educational Q&A
Ethical excellence is cultivated over time: by sustained service to elders, respectful learning in their presence, long practice of dharma, and continuous inquiry into what dharma truly requires.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues advising on right conduct, stressing a disciplined, long-term approach—learning from elders and persistently practicing and investigating dharma.
