Shloka 11
तृष्णाक्षय-उपदेशः
Instruction on the Cessation of Craving
निरासैरलसै: श्रान्तैस्तप्यमानै: स्वकर्मभि: । शमस्योपरमो दृष्ट: प्रत्रज्यायामपण्डितै:
nirāśair alasaiḥ śrāntais tapyamānaiḥ svakarmabhiḥ | śamasyoparamo dṛṣṭaḥ pravrajyāyām apaṇḍitaiḥ ||
カピラは言った。「信も志もなく、怠惰で疲れ果て、己が業の果に責め立てられる無智の者どもが、安らぎは出離にのみあると妄想する。彼らは遊行托鉢の道（プラヴラジュヤー）に身を寄せ、家住の戒律には静けさがないと宣言するが、その判断はダルマの真相からではなく、彼ら自身の弱さから生じている。」

Educational Q&A
Peace (śama) is not guaranteed merely by adopting external renunciation; those lacking steadiness and discernment may flee to pravrajyā and then wrongly disparage the householder path. True tranquility depends on inner discipline and wisdom, not on the label of one’s āśrama.
In Kapila’s discourse in the Śānti Parva, he critiques superficial renunciation: certain weary and deluded people, distressed by their own karmic burdens, claim that only the renunciant life yields peace and that the householder life cannot lead to liberation. Kapila frames this as an error of the unwise.
