Haṃsa–Sādhya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dama, Kṣamā and the Discipline of Speech
अर्थाश्व दुर्लभॉल्लोके क्लेशांश्व सुलभांस्तथा । दुःखं चैव कुट॒म्बार्थे यः पश्यति स मुच्यते
arthāś ca durlabhā loke kleśāṃś ca sulabhāṃs tathā | duḥkhaṃ caiva kuṭumbārthe yaḥ paśyati sa mucyate ||
قال بهيشما: «في هذا العالم، المال والمكاسب المادية عسيرة المنال، أمّا المتاعب فسهلة الورود. ولأجل إعالة الأسرة يضطر المرء كثيرًا إلى احتمال المعاناة. من رأى هذه الحقيقة رؤيةً جلية—بلا وَهْم ولا تعلّق—تحرر (من قيود السَّمْسارا).»

In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and the path to inner freedom, emphasizing sober insight into worldly life as a basis for renunciation and release.
