Shloka 14
असंतोषादिदोष-निरूपणम्
On the Faults of Discontent and the Discipline of Detachment
निरामिषा न शोचन्ति शोचसि त्वं किमामिषम् | परित्यज्यामिषं सर्व मृषावादात् प्रमोक्ष्यसे
nirāmiṣā na śocanti śocasi tvaṁ kim āmiṣam | parityajyāmiṣaṁ sarvaṁ mṛṣāvādāt pramokṣyase ||
যিসকলে ইন্দ্ৰিয়ভোগৰ লালসা ত্যাগ কৰিছে, তেওঁলোকে শোক নকৰে; তেন্তে তুমি ভোগ-সুখৰ বাবে কিয় শোক কৰিছা? সকলো ‘আমিষ’—বিষয়লালসা—পৰিত্যাগ কৰা; তেতিয়া তুমি মিথ্যাবাদৰ বন্ধনৰ পৰা মুক্ত হ’বা।

Educational Q&A
Grief is rooted in attachment to sense-pleasures; by renouncing craving for enjoyments, one becomes steady and is freed from the moral downfall associated with falsehood.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses another person in a moral-exhortative tone, contrasting the untroubled state of the desireless with the anxiety of one still attached to pleasures, and urges renunciation as a path to liberation from untruth.
