Varṇa-dharma and Rājadharma: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Inquiry and Bhīṣma’s Normative Outline (वर्णधर्म-राजधर्म-प्रश्नोत्तरम्)
एकेन च यथोत्थेयं सत्यत्वं मधुरा गिर: । उत्सवानां समाजानां क्रिया: केतनजास्तथा
ekena ca yathotthēyaṁ satyatvaṁ madhurā giraḥ | utsavānāṁ samājānāṁ kriyāḥ ketanajāstathā ||
毗湿摩说道：“人纵使孤身一人，亦当如何奋起而致富贵；守真之坚；在庆典与众会之中以甘美而有礼之言待人；以及家务与社会本分之正行——这些事皆在此阐明。”

Educational Q&A
Uplift and stability in life come from dharmic conduct: truthfulness, gentle and pleasing speech, and proper observance of social and household duties—even if one must act without support from others.
In Shanti Parva, Bhishma continues instructing Yudhishthira on dharma after the war. This verse functions as a summary cue, indicating that the discourse explains personal uplift, truth, courteous speech in public settings, and domestic/social observances.
