Dama-pradhāna-dharma (Self-restraint as the Root of Dharma) — Śānti-parva 154

मोक्षधर्मश्रितैर्वाक्यहेतुमद्धिः सुनिष्ठरै: । मयोक्ता गच्छत क्षिप्रं स्वं स्‍्वमेव निवेशनम्‌,मेरी ये बातें बड़ी निछ्ठर जान पड़ती हैं; परंतु हेतुगर्भित और मोक्ष-धर्मसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाली हैं; अतः इन्हें मानकर मेरे कहनेसे तुमलोग शीघ्र अपने-अपने घर पधारो

mokṣadharmaśritair vākyair hetumadbhiḥ suniṣṭhuraiḥ | mayoktā gacchata kṣipraṃ svaṃ svam eva niveśanam ||

જંબુક બોલ્યો—મારા આ વચનો તમને બહુ કઠોર લાગશે; પરંતુ તે કારણયુક્ત છે અને મોક્ષધર્મને અનુરૂપ છે. તેથી તેને સ્વીકારી, મારા કહ્યા મુજબ તમે સૌ ઝડપથી પોતપોતાના ઘરે જાઓ.

Educational Q&A

Even if guidance sounds severe, it should be accepted when it is rational (hetumat) and aligned with mokṣa-dharma—teaching detachment and right conduct aimed at liberation rather than mere comfort.

Jambuka concludes an admonition: he acknowledges the bluntness of his words, justifies them as reason-based and liberation-oriented, and instructs his listeners to depart promptly, each returning to their own home.
