Sanatsujāta-Āhvāna (Summoning Sanatsujāta) — Vidura’s Invocation and Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Doubt
सोभिध्यायन्नुत्पतितान् निहन्या- दनादरेणाप्रतिबुध्यमान: । नैनं मृत्युर्मुत्युरिवात्ति भूत्वा एवं विद्वान यो विनिहन्ति कामान्
so 'bhidhyāyann utpatitān nihanyād anādareṇāpratibudhyamānaḥ | nainaṃ mṛtyur mṛtyur ivātti bhūtvā evaṃ vidvān yo vinihanti kāmān ||
ໃຫ້ຜູ້ແສວຫາ ຕັ້ງໃຈໄວ້ທີ່ພຣະສູງສຸດ ແລ້ວຟາດຟັນຄວາມປາຖະໜາທັນທີທີ່ມັນເກີດຂຶ້ນ—ເບິ່ງວັດຖຸອາລົມເປັນຂອງຕ່ຳຕ້ອຍ ບໍ່ໃສ່ໃຈເລີຍ ແລະບໍ່ໃຫ້ມັນກ່ອກໃຫ້ປະມາດ. ເພາະຜູ້ທີ່ທຳລາຍຄວາມຢາກດ້ວຍປັນຍາແບບນີ້ ຄວາມຕາຍຈະບໍ່ກິນເຂົາເຫມືອນທີ່ກິນສັດທົ່ວໄປ; ເຂົາຂ້າມພົ້ນວົງຈອນເກີດແລະຕາຍ.

Educational Q&A
Desires are to be cut off at their very birth through meditation on the Supreme and deliberate disregard for sense-objects; the wise who uproots craving is not ‘devoured by Death’—meaning he transcends ordinary mortality and attains liberation.
In the Sanatsujātīya discourse within Udyoga Parva, Sanatsujāta instructs (in a didactic, philosophical register) that conquering death is achieved not by external means but by inner vigilance: immediately destroying rising desires and remaining awake to their danger.
