नारद-समङ्ग-संवादः — The Nārada–Samaṅga Dialogue on Fearlessness and Equanimity
या दुस्त्यजा दुर्मतिभिर्या न जीर्य॑ति जीर्यत: । योडसौ प्राणान्तिको रोगस्तां तृष्णां त्यजत: सुखम्
yā dustyajā durmatibhir yā na jīryati jīryataḥ | yo 'sau prāṇāntiko rogas tāṁ tṛṣṇāṁ tyajataḥ sukham ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: ຄວາມຢາກອັນເປັນຕັນຫານັ້ນ ຄົນຫຼົງຜິດລະທິ້ງຍາກ, ຮ່າງກາຍແກ່ແລ້ວແຕ່ມັນບໍ່ແກ່, ແລະຖືກເຫັນເປັນໂລກທີ່ຢູ່ຄູ່ຈົນລົມຫາຍໃຈສຸດທ້າຍ—ຜູ້ໃດທີ່ປ່ອຍວາງຄວາມກະຫາຍນັ້ນໄດ້ ຜູ້ນັ້ນຈຶ່ງໄດ້ຮັບຄວາມສຸກແທ້.

Educational Q&A
Craving (tṛṣṇā) is portrayed as an enduring illness that persists even as the body ages; real happiness comes from abandoning this insatiable desire through discernment and self-restraint.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira, emphasizing inner discipline: the conquest of craving is presented as a decisive step toward peace and lasting well-being.
