ຜູ້ໃດຖືກຖາມ ແລະຖືກກວດສອບ ແຕ່ຍັງຄົງມີຄວາມຖ່ອມຕົນ ແລະຄວາມປະພຶດອັນມີວິໄນ—ສຳລວມແນ່ນອນ ແລະຝຶກຝົນດີ—ຜູ້ນັ້ນຍ່ອມກ້າວໄປສູ່ສະພາບອັນບໍ່ແກ່. ເມື່ອລະທິ້ງກຳອັນຜູກມັດທັງປວງ ພວກເຂົາຍ່ອມບັນລຸເປົ້າໝາຍອັນບໍ່ເສື່ອມສະລາຍ ໂດຍຊີວິດແຫ່ງການສຳລວມ, ຄວາມສຸພາບຖ່ອມຕົນ, ແລະວຣະຕະອັນໝັ້ນຄົງ.

Educational Q&A
Liberation is presented as the fruit of disciplined renunciation: humility (vinaya), self-restraint (dama), and firm training in vows lead one beyond binding action to the imperishable, unaging state.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, the sage Parāśara describes the qualities and trajectory of renunciants/ascetics: when tested and instructed, they remain humble and controlled, and thus attain the unaging goal free from karmic entanglement.
