Adhyāya 262: Śabda-brahman, Para-brahman, and the Ethics of Tyāga
Kapila–Syūmaraśmi Saṃvāda
तथा प्रज्ञानतृप्तस्य नित्यतृप्ति: सुखोदया । जैसे सब प्रकारके रसोंसे तृप्त हुआ मनुष्य किसी भी रसका अभिनन्दन नहीं करता
tathā prajñāna-tṛptasya nitya-tṛptiḥ sukhodayā |
チューラーダーラは説く。「智慧によって完全に満たされた者――内なる存在が真の理解において安らぐ者――には、尽きることなく自らを支える恒常の満足が生じ、それが永続する幸福の源となる。あらゆる味を味わい尽くして満腹となった人が、もはや特定の味を追い求めないように、洞見の歓喜に満ちた知者もまた、他所に快楽を求めず、尽きぬ安寧に住するのである。」

Educational Q&A
True and lasting happiness arises from fulfillment in wisdom (prajñāna). When one is inwardly satisfied by knowledge, craving for external pleasures fades, and a steady, inexhaustible contentment remains.
In the Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, Chūlādhāra is explaining an ethical-spiritual principle: the person established in wisdom becomes naturally content, like someone already satiated by all tastes, and therefore no longer seeks validation or pleasure from particular sense-objects.
