Rājadharma
शणं सर्जरसं धान्यमायुधानि शरांस्तथा । चर्म स्नायुं तथा वेत्रं मुजजबल्वजबन्धनान्
bhīṣma uvāca | śaṇaṁ sarjarasaṁ dhānyam āyudhāni śarāṁs tathā | carma snāyuṁ tathā vetraṁ muñjabalvajabandhanān ||
毗湿摩说道：“当备足一切要用之物，设立充盈的储藏——亚麻与树脂，谷物与给养；兵器与箭矢；皮革、筋腱与藤杖；并以穆恩迦（muñja）与巴尔瓦迦（balvaja）草编成的绳索。如此预备，方能维系秩序与防护，使人在危难或急需来临之际，不致惊惶失措，亦不致行不义，而能从容尽责。”

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that responsible leadership and household/state management require foresight: maintaining stores of provisions, materials, and defensive equipment so that one can fulfill protective duties (dharma) steadily, without resorting to unjust measures in times of crisis.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on conduct and governance, Bhishma enumerates practical items to be kept in reserve—fibres, resin, grain, weapons, and binding materials—framing preparedness as part of righteous administration and protection.
