Śreyas-nirdeśa (Discerning the Superior Good): Nārada–Gālava Saṃvāda
कृते धर्मे भवेत् प्रीतिरिह प्रेत्य च शाश्वती । मोहेन हि समाविष्ट: पुत्रदारार्थमुद्यत:
kṛte dharme bhavet prītir iha pretya ca śāśvatī | mohena hi samāviṣṭaḥ putradārārtham udyataḥ ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: «ເມື່ອປະພຶດຕາມທຳມະ ຄວາມຍິນດີອັນຍືນຍົງຈະເກີດຂຶ້ນ ທັງໃນຊີວິດນີ້ ແລະຫຼັງຄວາມຕາຍ. ແຕ່ຜູ້ທີ່ຖືກມົວເມົາຄອບງຳ ຈະກະວົນກະວາຍ ແລະພາກພຽນແຕ່ເພື່ອລູກ ເມຍ ແລະຊັບສິນ».

Educational Q&A
Righteous action (dharma) yields enduring inner joy both in this life and beyond, whereas delusion makes one chase family- and wealth-centered aims in a way that disturbs true well-being.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and right living; here he contrasts the peace born of dharmic conduct with the agitation produced by moha-driven attachment to progeny, spouse, and material gain.
