Shloka 6
इन्द्रेण वृत्रवधः, ब्रह्महत्याया अनुगमनम्, तथा च विभाजन-निवासविधानम्
Indra’s defeat of Vṛtra; pursuit by Brahmahatyā; allocation of her abodes
अप्रमादाद् भयं रक्षेत् ध्वासं क्षेत्रज्ञणीलनात् इच्छां द्वेषं च काम॑ च धैर्येण विनिवर्तयेत्
apramādād bhayaṁ rakṣet dhvāsaṁ kṣetrajña-nīlanāt | icchāṁ dveṣaṁ ca kāmaṁ ca dhairyeṇa vinivartayet ||
毗湿摩说：当以不放逸之警觉驱除恐惧；当以内观“知田者”（自我）而安住并护持其息，即以有纪律的调息（prāṇāyāma）摄持生命之气。又当以坚忍之定力回转欲求、憎恶与淫欲，使心堪任达摩与内在安宁。

Educational Q&A
Cultivate apramāda (vigilant non-negligence) to dispel fear, regulate and protect the breath through inward Self-contemplation (a yogic discipline akin to prāṇāyāma), and restrain desire, aversion, and lust through dhairya (steadfast patience).
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and the means to peace after the war; here he gives practical inner disciplines—alertness, breath-control grounded in Self-awareness, and patient restraint of passions.
