Saṃhāra-krama (The Sequence of Cosmic Dissolution) — Yājñavalkya’s Discourse
भीष्म उवाच रागं मोहं तथा स्नेहं काम॑ क्रोधं च केवलम् | योगाच्छित्त्वा ततो दोषान् पज्चैतानू् प्राप्रुवन्ति तत्
bhīṣma uvāca | rāgaṁ mohaṁ tathā snehaṁ kāmaṁ krodhaṁ ca kevalam | yogāc chittvā tato doṣān pañcaitān prāpnuvanti tat ||
ビーシュマは言った。「ユディシュティラよ、ヨーガの修習によって、ヨーギーはこの五つの過失――執着、迷妄、しがみつく愛着、欲望、そして怒り――を根から断ち切る。かくしてそれらを除けば、最高の境地に到達するのだ。」
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Yoga is presented as an ethical and liberating discipline: by cutting off five inner defects—attachment (rāga), delusion (moha), clinging affection (sneha), desire (kāma), and anger (krodha)—one becomes fit to attain the highest state.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction to Yudhishthira, Bhishma continues his discourse on right conduct and inner discipline, explaining that true attainment comes from conquering mental afflictions through yoga.
