Shloka 15
इन्द्रेण वृत्रवधः, ब्रह्महत्याया अनुगमनम्, तथा च विभाजन-निवासविधानम्
Indra’s defeat of Vṛtra; pursuit by Brahmahatyā; allocation of her abodes
ध्यानमध्ययन दान सत्य द्वीरार्जवं क्षमा | शौचमाहारत: शुद्धिरिन्द्रियाणां च संयम:
bhīṣma uvāca | dhyānam adhyayanaṁ dānaṁ satyaṁ hrīr ārjavaṁ kṣamā | śaucam āhārataḥ śuddhir indriyāṇāṁ ca saṁyamaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“禅定、研习、布施、真实、惭愧（谦谨）、正直、忍恕、内外清净、饮食清净、以及诸根调伏——此皆瑜伽之行。修习此等，则求道者内光增长；罪垢消灭，所立之愿渐得成果，而真知（vijñāna）于心中觉起。”

Educational Q&A
Yoga is grounded in ethical and purificatory disciplines: meditation, scriptural study, generosity, truthfulness, modest restraint, sincerity, forgiveness, cleanliness, pure diet, and control of the senses. These practices increase inner brilliance, remove sin, and culminate in the rise of true knowledge (vijñāna) in the heart.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma addresses Yudhishthira’s quest for dharma after the war, outlining practical virtues and observances that constitute yogic discipline and lead to inner transformation.
