Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
तस्याप्येवंप्रभावस्य सदश्चव॒स्येव धावत: । अजसं सर्वलोकस्य कः कुतो वा न वा कुत:
bhīṣma uvāca | tasyāpy evaṃprabhāvasya sadaś ca vaśyeva dhāvataḥ | ajasaṃ sarvalokasya kaḥ kuto vā na vā kutaḥ ||
ເຫມືອນມ້າດີທີ່ຝຶກດີ ວິ່ງດ້ວຍຄວາມໄວຢ່າງຫນັກ ຈາກບ່ອນໜຶ່ງໄປອີກບ່ອນໜຶ່ງຈົນຍາກຈະກ່າວໄດ້—ດັ່ງນັ້ນໂລກອັນມີອຳນາດນີ້ ກໍກຳລັງໄຫຼໄປດ້ວຍແຮງບໍ່ຢຸດ ຈາກສະພາບໜຶ່ງໄປອີກສະພາບໜຶ່ງ. ດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຄໍາຖາມວ່າ “ໃຜມາຈາກໃສ ແລະໃຜບໍ່ມາ? ນີ້ເປັນຂອງໃຜ ແລະບໍ່ແມ່ນຂອງໃຜ? ເກີດຈາກຫຍັງ ແລະບໍ່ເກີດຈາກຫຍັງ?” ຈຶ່ງບໍ່ອາດຕັ້ງໃຫ້ມີນັຍສຳຄັນໄດ້.

Educational Q&A
Because the world is in constant, forceful motion—shifting from state to state—questions of fixed origin, ownership, and enduring relation (“who is from where,” “whose is this”) lose their ultimate footing; the teaching points toward non-attachment and insight into impermanence.
In Shanti Parva’s instruction, Bhishma continues a philosophical explanation to Yudhishthira, using the simile of a swift, well-controlled horse to describe the world’s relentless movement and to undermine ordinary assumptions about stable identity and possession.
