34. eka eva dame doṣaḥ dvitīyaḥ na upapadyate

34. ekaḥ eva doṣaḥ dame (asti),

34. There is only one defect in practicing self-control (dama), and no second one occurs: people consider him who is endowed with forgiveness (kṣamā) to be weak.
एतस्य तु महाप्राज्ञ दोषस्य सुमहान्गुणः ।
क्षमायां विपुला लोकाः सुलभा हि सहिष्णुना ॥३५॥
35. etasya tu mahāprājña doṣasya sumahānguṇaḥ ,
kṣamāyāṁ vipulā lokāḥ sulabhā hi sahiṣṇunā.
35. etasya tu mahāprājña doṣasya sumahān guṇaḥ
kṣamāyām vipulāḥ lokāḥ sulabhāḥ hi sahiṣṇunā
35. tu mahāprājña! etasya doṣasya sumahān guṇaḥ (asti).
kṣamāyām sahiṣṇunā vipulāḥ lokāḥ hi sulabhāḥ (bhavanti).
35. But, O great sage, this very defect (of being perceived as weak) has a very great merit (guṇa): vast realms are indeed easily attained through forgiveness (kṣamā) by one who is patient.
दान्तस्य किमरण्येन तथादान्तस्य भारत ।
यत्रैव हि वसेद्दान्तस्तदरण्यं स आश्रमः ॥३६॥
36. dāntasya kimaraṇyena tathādāntasya bhārata ,

36. dāntasya kim araṇyena tathā adāntasya bhārata
yatra eva hi vaset dāntaḥ tat araṇyam saḥ āśramaḥ
36. bhārata! dāntasya araṇyena kim? tathā adāntasya (araṇyena kim)? yatra eva hi dāntaḥ vaset,
tat araṇyam,
saḥ āśramaḥ (asti).
36. O Bhārata, what is the use of a forest for the self-controlled (dānta), and similarly, what is its use for the uncontrolled? Wherever the self-controlled (dānta) person indeed resides, that place is a forest (araṇya), and that is a spiritual abode (āśrama).

अमृतेनेव संतृप्तः प्रहृष्टः समपद्यत ॥३७॥
37. vaiśaṁpāyana uvāca ,

37. vaiśaṃpāyana uvāca rājā yudhiṣṭhiraḥ etat bhīṣmasya
vacanam śrutvā amṛtena iva saṃtṛptaḥ prahṛṣṭaḥ samapadyata
37. Vaiśampāyana said: Hearing these words of Bhishma, King Yudhishthira became deeply satisfied, as if by nectar, and was greatly delighted.
पुनश्च परिपप्रच्छ भीष्मं धर्मभृतां वरम् ।
तपः प्रति स चोवाच तस्मै सर्वं कुरूद्वह ॥३८॥
38. punaśca paripapraccha bhīṣmaṁ dharmabhṛtāṁ varam ,
tapaḥ prati sa covāca tasmai sarvaṁ kurūdvaha.
38. punaḥ ca paripapraccha bhīṣmam dharmabhṛtām varam

38. punaḥ ca saḥ (yudhiṣṭhiraḥ)
dharmabhṛtām varam bhīṣmam tapaḥ
prati paripapraccha ca saḥ (bhīṣmaḥ)
kurūdvaha tasmai sarvam uvāca
38. And again, he (Yudhishthira) questioned Bhishma, the foremost among the upholders of natural law (dharma), concerning asceticism (tapas). And in response, Bhishma, O scion of Kuru, explained everything to him.
