युधिछिर उवाच वृत्रेण परमार्थज्ञ दृष्टा मन्ये55त्मनो गति: । शुभा तस्मात् स सुखितो न शोचति पितामह
Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca: Vṛtreṇa paramārthajña dṛṣṭā manye ’tmano gatiḥ | śubhā tasmāt sa sukhito na śocati pitāmaha ||
قال يودهيشثيرا: «يا جدّي، يا عارفَ الحقيقةِ العليا، أرى أن فِرترا قد أبصر المسارَ الحقَّ للذات—مسارًا مباركًا وحقيقيًّا. لذلك كان ساكنَ النفس لا يأسى ولا يجزع».
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Direct realization of the Self (ātma-darśana) brings inner auspiciousness and freedom from sorrow; one who knows the highest truth remains content even amid suffering or death.
In the Śānti Parva dialogue, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Bhīṣma as a knower of ultimate truth and reflects on Vṛtrāsura, saying that Vṛtra must have realized the true nature and destiny of the Self, which is why he remained ungrieving and peaceful.
