Śakra–Namuci-saṃvāda: Śoka-nivāraṇa and Daiva-vicāra
Indra and Namuci on grief, composure, and inevitability
यद् यदागमसंयुक्त न कृच्छुमनुपश्यति । अथ तत्राप्युपादत्ते तमोडव्यक्तमिवानृतम्
yad yad āgama-saṁyuktaṁ na kṛcchram anupaśyati | atha tatrāpy upādatte tamoḍa-vyaktam ivānṛtam ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ສະພາວະໃດກໍຕາມທີ່ຜູກພັນກັບຮອຍປະທັບຂອງປະສົບການເກົ່າ ຄົນຍ່ອມບໍ່ເຫັນຄວາມລຳບາກຂອງມັນເປັນຄວາມລຳບາກ. ແມ່ນແຕ່ໃນນັ້ນ ລາວຍັງຮັບເອົາຄວາມພໍໃຈອັນບໍ່ແທ້ ທີ່ຖືກຕາມັສປົກຄຸມ ຄືບໍ່ຊັດເຈນ ດັ່ງຂອງທີ່ຍັງບໍ່ປາກົດ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ເຫມືອນຜູ້ຝັນທີ່ບໍ່ຮັບຮູ້ທຸກຂ໌ໃຫ້ແຈ້ງຊັດ ຜູ້ຢູ່ໃນຫຼັບເລິກກໍຍັງປະສົບ ‘ຄວາມສຸກ’ ອັນລວງທີ່ເກີດຈາກຕາມັສ».

Educational Q&A
That the mind can fail to recognize suffering when it is veiled by tamas and habitual impressions; even in deep sleep one may ‘experience’ a kind of false, indistinct contentment that is not true well-being.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction, Bhīṣma continues teaching about the nature of mind and experience, using sleep/dream imagery to show how delusion can make hardship seem absent and can present an illusory sense of ease.
