Shloka 15
मोक्षधर्मः — स्नेहपाशच्छेदः
Mokṣa-dharma: Cutting the Bonds of Attachment
नित्यतृप्तः सुसंतुष्ट: प्रसन्नवदनेन्द्रिय: । विभीर्जप्यपरो मौनी वैराग्यं समुपाश्रित:
nityatṛptaḥ susantuṣṭaḥ prasannavadanendriyaḥ | vibhīr japyaparo maunī vairāgyaṃ samupāśritaḥ ||
毗湿摩说：人应恒常知足、圆满满足，使面容与诸根安宁而欢悦；莫令恐惧得以入侵。应专注于反复诵持圣音——如“唵”(Oṃ)——节制言语，安住于默然，并以离欲（不染）为依止。在《寂静品》之伦理教诲中，这正是使人心志坚定、不伤众生、堪受上智的内在修持。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Cultivate steady inner contentment, keep the senses serene, exclude fear, practice mantra-repetition (especially Oṃ), and adopt silence and dispassion—disciplines that stabilize character and support liberation-oriented living.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira on the qualities and practices of a disciplined, peace-seeking person, emphasizing inner restraint over external action.
