Bhīmasena’s Counsel on Grief, Inner Conflict, and the Duty of Kingship (भीमसेन-उपदेशः)
द्विविधो जायते व्याधि: शारीरो मानसस्तथा । परस्परं तयोर्जन्म निर्द्धन्द्ध नोपलभ्यते,“मनुष्यको दो प्रकारकी व्याधियाँ होती हैं--एक शारीरिक और दूसरी मानसिक। इन दोनोंकी उत्पत्ति एक-दूसरेके आश्रित है। एकके बिना दूसरीका होना सम्भव नहीं है
dvividhō jāyate vyādhiḥ śārīro mānasas tathā | parasparaṃ tayor janma nirddvanddho nopalabhyate ||
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ໂລກໄພຂອງມະນຸດເກີດຂຶ້ນສອງຢ່າງ—ໂລກກາຍ ແລະ ໂລກໃຈ. ການເກີດຂອງທັງສອງນີ້ພຶງພາກັນແລະກັນ; ບໍ່ມີອັນໜຶ່ງ ອີກອັນໜຶ່ງກໍບໍ່ເກີດ, ເພາະບໍ່ພົບວ່າມັນເກີດຢ່າງເອກະລາດໄດ້.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that human affliction is twofold—physical and mental—and that these two are intertwined: bodily conditions influence the mind and mental states influence the body. Therefore, treating suffering ethically and wisely requires attention to both dimensions rather than isolating one as wholly independent.
In the didactic setting of the Śānti Parva, Vaiśaṃpāyana presents a reflective observation about the nature of suffering. He classifies illness into bodily and mental types and emphasizes their mutual causation, framing the discussion toward understanding and alleviating human distress.
