Bhīmasena’s Counsel on Grief, Inner Conflict, and the Duty of Kingship (भीमसेन-उपदेशः)
शारीराज्जायते व्याधिमननसो नात्र संशय: । मानसाज्जायते वापि शारीर इति निश्चय:
śārīrāj jāyate vyādhir ananaso nātra saṁśayaḥ | mānasāj jāyate vāpi śārīra iti niścayaḥ ||
វៃសម្បាយនៈបានមានពាក្យថា៖ ពីហេតុរាងកាយ កើតមានជំងឺ—អំពីនេះមិនមានសង្ស័យឡើយ។ ហើយក៏ប្រាកដថា ពីហេតុចិត្ត ក៏អាចកើតជំងឺរាងកាយបានដែរ។

Educational Q&A
Illness can arise from bodily factors, and mental disturbances can also generate physical disease; therefore ethical self-governance includes guarding the mind, not only the body.
Vaiśampāyana states a reflective maxim within the Shānti Parva’s instruction: he links physical suffering and mental states, emphasizing that inner causes can produce outer afflictions.
