Udyoga Parva Adhyaya 62 — Duryodhana’s Claim of Victory and Vidura’s Allegories on Discord and Risk
Devanagari script
उत्सृज्यैव गृहान् यस्तु मोक्षमेवाभिमन्यते । लोकास्तेजोमयास्तस्य कल्पन्ते शाश्वता दिवि,जो गृहस्थाश्रमको त्यागकर मोक्षको ही आदर देता है, उसके लिये द्युलोकमें तेजोमय सनातन स्थानकी प्राप्ति होती है
Transliteration
utsṛjyaiva gṛhān yas tu mokṣam evābhimanyate | lokās tejo-mayās tasya kalpante śāśvatā divi ||
Translation
Vidura says: Whoever truly leaves behind household life and fixes his aim solely on liberation—regarding mokṣa as the highest goal—for him there are prepared in heaven everlasting realms made of radiance. The verse commends renunciation oriented to spiritual freedom, presenting it as a path that yields an exalted, luminous destiny.
