Shloka 9
कालनिर्देशः शोकनिवारणं च
Instruction on Kāla and the Removal of Grief
अकार्याणि तु वक्ष्यामि यानि तानि निबोध मे । लोकवेदविरुद्धानि तान्येकाग्रमना: शृणु,इनके सिवा, जो लोक और वेदसे विरुद्ध न करनेयोग्य कर्म हैं, उन्हें भी बताता हूँ। तुम एकाग्रचित होकर सुनो और समझो
akāryāṇi tu vakṣyāmi yāni tāni nibodha me | lokavedaviruddhāni tāny ekāgramanāḥ śṛṇu ||
毗耶娑说：“现在我将告诉你那些不可为之事。你当从我处领会。它们既违背世间通行的道德秩序，也违背《吠陀》的权威；因此你要一心专注地聆听。”

Educational Q&A
Vyāsa frames a standard for rejecting actions: any deed that contradicts both worldly ethical order (loka) and Vedic/scriptural authority (veda) is to be treated as akārya—something that should not be done—and the listener should attend with focused discernment.
In the didactic setting of Śānti Parva, Vyāsa addresses his listener and transitions into a list or explanation of prohibited conduct, urging concentrated listening before he enumerates acts that violate social morality and Vedic injunctions.
