Adhyāya 180: Jīva, Śarīra, and the Fire Analogy (भृगु–भरद्वाज संवादः)
इति भूतानि सम्पश्यन्ननुषक्तानि मृत्युना । सर्वसामान्यगो विद्वान् कृतकृत्य: सुखं स्वपे
iti bhūtāni sampaśyann anuṣaktāni mṛtyunā | sarvasāmānyago vidvān kṛtakṛtyaḥ sukhaṃ svape ||
ພີດສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າເຫັນສັດທັງປວງຖືກຜູກພັນ ແລະພັນຕິດຢູ່ໃນບ່ວງແຫ່ງຄວາມຕາຍ. ເມື່ອຮູ້ຄວາມຈິງແລ້ວ ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າເປັນຜູ້ທີ່ໄດ້ເຮັດສິ່ງທີ່ຄວນເຮັດສຳເລັດແລ້ວ; ມີໃຈເທົ່າທຽມຕໍ່ທຸກຜູ້ ຂ້າພະເຈົ້ານອນຢ່າງສະຫງົບສຸກ.»

Educational Q&A
Because death binds all beings without exception, the wise person cultivates equal-mindedness toward everyone, completes one’s rightful duties, and rests inwardly at peace rather than clinging to partiality or fear.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction, Bhishma is explaining a standpoint of mature wisdom: by contemplating the universal condition of mortality, he claims the serenity of one who has fulfilled his obligations and now abides in impartiality and calm.
