Haṃsa–Sādhya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dama, Kṣamā and the Discipline of Speech
स्वजने न च ते चिन्ता कर्तव्या मोक्षबुद्धिना । इमे मया विनाभूता भविष्यन्ति कथं त्विति
svajane na ca te cintā kartavyā mokṣa-buddhinā | ime mayā vinābhūtā bhaviṣyanti kathaṃ tv iti ||
ビーシュマは言った。「もし汝の बुद्धि(知)がモークシャ(解脱)に定まっているなら、身内のことを案じて『私がいなければ彼らはどう生きるのか』と不安に沈むべきではない。執着から生じるその憂いは、解脱を志す者にふさわしくない。」
भीष्म उवाच
A mind aimed at mokṣa should not be driven by attachment-based anxiety about relatives; one should cultivate detachment and trust that others will continue without one’s constant control or presence.
Bhīṣma, instructing on dharma and liberation in the Śānti Parva, counsels the listener to abandon worry about how one’s family will manage without oneself, because such concern contradicts a liberation-oriented resolve.
