Strī Parva, Adhyāya 2 — Vidura’s Consolation on Kāla, Karma, and the Limits of Lamentation (विदुरोपदेशः)
Devanagari script
मानुषा मानसैर्दु:खैर्दहान्ते चाल्पबुद्धय: । मन्दबुद्धि मनुष्य ही अप्रिय वस्तुका संयोग और प्रिय वस्तुका वियोग होनेपर मानसिक दुःखोंसे दग्ध होने लगते हैं
Transliteration
mānuṣā mānasair duḥkhair dahyante cālpabuddhayaḥ | mandabuddhi-manuṣyā hi apriya-vastuka-saṃyoge priya-vastuka-viyoge ca mānasair duḥkhair dagdhā bhavanti |
Translation
ヴィドゥラは言う。浅き知の者は心の苦しみに焼かれる。嫌うものに遭い、愛するものと別れるとき、鈍き者は内より悲しみに灼かれる。出来事そのものよりも、執着と嫌悪こそが内なる苦火を煽るのだ。
