धृत्या शिक्षोदरं रक्षेत् पाणिपादं च चक्षुषा । चक्षु:श्रोत्रे च मनसा मनो वाचं च विद्यया
dhṛtyā śikṣodaraṃ rakṣet pāṇipādaṃ ca cakṣuṣā | cakṣuḥśrotre ca manasā mano vācaṃ ca vidyayā ||
那罗陀说：“以坚忍当制其腹与食欲之冲动；以警觉当护其手足不入邪行。以心当摄其眼耳；以真实之智当调伏其心与言。”
नारद उवाच
Educational Q&A
A graded discipline of the person: firmness restrains appetite, vigilance restrains bodily actions, the mind regulates the senses, and wisdom refines mind and speech—so that conduct aligns with dharma.
In Śānti Parva, Nārada instructs on ethical self-governance, presenting practical inner disciplines as the foundation for righteous living and social harmony.
