Kapila and Syūmaraśmi on Renunciation, Householder Support, and Epistemic Authority
नानुरुद्धये निरुध्ये वा न द्वेष्मि न च कामये । समोऊ हं सर्वभूतेषु पश्य मे जाजले व्रतम् । तुला मे सर्वभूतेषु समा तिष्तति जाजले
nānuruddhaye niruddhye vā na dveṣmi na ca kāmaye | samo ’haṁ sarvabhūteṣu paśya me jājale vratam | tulā me sarvabhūteṣu samā tiṣṭhati jājale ||
ຕູລາທາຣາ ກ່າວວ່າ: «ຂ້ອຍບໍ່ອ້ອນວອນໃຜ ແລະກໍບໍ່ຕໍ່ຕ້ານໃຜ. ຂ້ອຍບໍ່ຊັງ ແລະບໍ່ໂລບຢາກ. ຂ້ອຍມີໃຈເສມພາກຕໍ່ສັດທັງປວງ. ໂອ ຈາຈາລີ, ນີ້ແມ່ນວຣະຕະ ແລະວິໄນຂອງຂ້ອຍ—ຈົ່ງເບິ່ງ. ໂອ ມຸນີ, ‘ຕາຊັ່ງ’ ຂອງຂ້ອຍຕັ້ງຢູ່ຢ່າງເທົ່າທຽມສຳລັບສັດທັງປວງ—ຊັ່ງທຸກຄົນດ້ວຍມາດຕະຖານດຽວກັນ».
तुलाधार उवाच
Educational Q&A
The core teaching is impartiality grounded in inner discipline: one should not be driven by craving or hatred, nor by the urge to coerce or resist others; instead, one should maintain equal regard for all beings, judging and treating them by a single, fair standard (symbolized by the ‘scale’).
In the Tulādhāra–Jājali episode of the Śānti Parva, Tulādhāra instructs the ascetic Jājali on true dharma. Here he states his personal vow: he neither begs nor obstructs, neither hates nor desires, and he remains even-minded toward all beings—his ‘balance’ is level for everyone.
