Shloka 16
अध्याय २८६ — पराशर-उपदेशः
Ethical Restraint, Mortality, and Karma
Devanagari script
नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य नायोगाद् विन्दते सुखम् । धृतिश्न दुःखत्यागश्नेत्युभयं तु सुखं नूप
Translation
Celui dont l’esprit n’est pas uni au yoga n’a pas l’intelligence de l’équanimité; sans yoga, nul ne trouve le bonheur. Ô roi ! Le renoncement au lien avec la souffrance et la constance du courage — ces deux-là sont la cause de la félicité.
