राज्ञोऽभिषेकः, अराजकदोषः, दण्डधारणस्य आवश्यकता
Royal Consecration, the Fault of Kinglessness, and the Necessity of Enforcement
अहनि् पूजयतो नित्यं संविभागेन पाण्डव । सर्वतस्तस्य कौन्तेय भैक्ष्याश्रमपर्द भवेत्
ahani pūjayato nityaṃ saṃvibhāgena pāṇḍava | sarvatas tasya kaunteya bhaikṣyāśramapadaṃ bhavet ||
毗湿摩说:噢,般度之子,昆蒂之子啊——若有人日复一日,以分享分施之心,常常供敬可敬之人,施与其所愿之物,便能获得与行乞修行者/梵行者(brahmacārin)之生活相应的境界与道途。其义在于:恒常的敬奉,以布施为表,能净化行持,引向克己出离的理想。

Consistent honoring of worthy people through generous sharing—giving what is desired/needed—cultivates purity and discipline, leading to the spiritual merit associated with the mendicant or brahmacārin mode of life.
In the Śānti Parva instruction, Bhīṣma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma after the war, emphasizing that daily acts of reverence expressed through charitable distribution yield high spiritual attainment.
