मृत्योर्ब्रह्मणा नियोजनम् — The Commissioning of Mṛtyu by Brahmā
अकृत्रिममसंहार्य प्राकृतं निरुपस्कृतम् अध्यात्मं सुकृतं प्राप्त: सुखमव्ययमश्लुते
akṛtrimam asaṁhāryaṁ prākṛtaṁ nirupaskṛtam | adhyātmaṁ sukṛtaṁ prāpyaḥ sukham avyayam aśnute ||
ব্যাসে ক’লে—যি দেহৰ ভিতৰত অৱস্থিত ‘সুকৃত’ নামে প্ৰসিদ্ধ সেই অধ্যাত্ম-ব্ৰহ্মক লাভ কৰে—যি অকৃত্ৰিম, অবিনাশী, স্বভাৱসিদ্ধ আৰু সংস্কাৰ-অস্পৰ্শ—সেইজন অব্যয় সুখৰ অংশীদাৰ হয়।

Educational Q&A
Imperishable happiness arises from realizing the inner, unconditioned Brahman/Ātman—natural, indestructible, and not dependent on external ‘refinements’ or constructed identities.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on liberation and inner peace, Vyāsa states a doctrinal point: the seeker who attains the adhyātma reality (Brahman within) becomes entitled to enduring bliss, shifting the focus from worldly achievements to Self-realization.
