ພະວາຍຸເທວະກ່າວວ່າ: «ໃນເລື່ອງນີ້ ມີຕົວຢ່າງບູຮານຖືກຍົກຂຶ້ນ—ດັ່ງທີ່ດິວະຣິສີ ນາຣະດະ (Nārada) ເຄີຍກ່າວແກ່ພະຣາຊາ ສຸນຈະຍະ (Suñjaya) ຜູ້ຖືກທຸກຂ໌ທົນທຸກດ້ວຍຄວາມໂສກເພາະລູກ. ‘ສຸນຈະຍະ! ແມ່ນແຕ່ຄົນທັງສີ່ນັ້ນ—ຜູ້ມີມົງຄຸນ ແລະດີເລີດກວ່າເຈົ້າ—ກໍຕາຍໄປແລ້ວ; ແລະເຂົາເຈົ້າມີບຸນກຸສົນຫຼາຍກວ່າລູກຂອງເຈົ້າຢ່າງຫຼາຍ. ຖ້າຜູ້ເຊັ່ນນັ້ນຍັງລ່ວງລັບ ແລ້ວລູກຂອງເຈົ້າຈະເປັນຢ່າງໃດ? ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຢ່າໂສກເສົ້າເພື່ອເຂົາ’».

Educational Q&A
Grief should be moderated by insight into impermanence: even the most auspicious and highly meritorious beings die; therefore excessive lamentation for one’s own loss is not wise. The counsel redirects the mind from personal attachment toward steadiness and acceptance aligned with dharma.
Vāyudeva introduces an instructive old story: Nārada once addressed King Suñjaya, who was overwhelmed by sorrow for his deceased son. Nārada argues by precedent—if even four superior and more virtuous persons have died, Suñjaya should not be consumed by grief for his son.
