Śraddhā–Guṇa–Vibhāga Yoga (Faith and the Three Guṇas) — Mahābhārata Book 6, Chapter 39

इस लोक और परलोकके सम्पूर्ण भोगोंमें आसक्तिका अभाव और अहंकारका भी अभाव, जन्म, मृत्यु, जरा और रोग आदिमें दुःख और दोषोंका बार-बार विचार करना5? |। असक्तिरनभिष्वड्ड:* 3 पुत्रदारगृहादिषु । नित्यं च समचित्तत्वमिष्टानिष्टोपपत्तिषुर,पुत्र, स्त्री, घर और धन आदिमें आसक्तिका अभाव, ममताका न होना तथा प्रिय और अप्रियकी प्राप्तिमें सदा ही चित्तका सम रहना

asaktir anabhiṣvaṅgaḥ putradāragṛhādiṣu | nityaṁ ca samacittatvam iṣṭāniṣṭopapattiṣu ||

この世と来世のあらゆる享楽に執着せず、また我慢を離れ、さらに生・死・老・病における苦と過失を繰り返し省察すること。子・配偶者・家・財などに対して執着せず、所有欲(執我)を起こさず、好ましいもの・好ましくないものが到来しても常に心を平等に保つこと——これが内なる鍛錬の徴とされる。倫理的には、所有・好悪に支配されずに世に在り、心を乱さず義務(ダルマ)を果たす道を示す。

Educational Q&A

Cultivate non-attachment and non-possessiveness toward family and property, and maintain equanimity when desirable or undesirable results occur. The verse emphasizes inner freedom and steadiness as ethical strengths that support right action.

Within Bhīṣma Parva’s didactic setting, a teaching on qualities of wisdom/discipline is being stated. This verse specifically lists traits—detachment from household ties and even-mindedness amid outcomes—rather than describing battlefield action.
