असंतोषादिदोष-निरूपणम्

On the Faults of Discontent and the Discipline of Detachment

निरामिषा न शोचन्ति शोचसि त्वं किमामिषम्‌ | परित्यज्यामिषं सर्व मृषावादात्‌ प्रमोक्ष्यसे,जिन्होंने भोगोंका परित्याग कर दिया है वे तो कभी शोक नहीं करते हैं; फिर तुम क्‍यों भोगोंकी चिन्ता करते हो? सारे भोगोंका परित्याग कर देनेपर तुम मिथ्यावादसे छूट जाओगे

nirāmiṣā na śocanti śocasi tvaṁ kim āmiṣam | parityajyāmiṣaṁ sarvaṁ mṛṣāvādāt pramokṣyase ||

Mereka yang bebas dari hasrat akan kenikmatan indria tidak berduka. Mengapa engkau berduka karena kesenangan dan kenikmatan? Tinggalkan seluruh āmiṣa—umpan berupa nafsu pada objek-objek indria—maka engkau akan terbebas dari belenggu kebohongan.

युधिछिर उवाच

Y
Yudhiṣṭhira

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.
