Udyoga Parva Adhyaya 62 — Duryodhana’s Claim of Victory and Vidura’s Allegories on Discord and Risk
उत्सृज्यैव गृहान् यस्तु मोक्षमेवाभिमन्यते । लोकास्तेजोमयास्तस्य कल्पन्ते शाश्वता दिवि,जो गृहस्थाश्रमको त्यागकर मोक्षको ही आदर देता है, उसके लिये द्युलोकमें तेजोमय सनातन स्थानकी प्राप्ति होती है
utsṛjyaiva gṛhān yas tu mokṣam evābhimanyate | lokās tejo-mayās tasya kalpante śāśvatā divi ||
जो गृहत्याग करून केवळ मोक्षालाच परम ध्येय मानतो, त्याच्यासाठी दिव्य लोकात तेजोमय, शाश्वत स्थान सिद्ध होतात।

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that sincere renunciation of household attachment, when directed toward mokṣa as the supreme goal, leads to an exalted spiritual outcome—symbolized as eternal, radiant celestial realms.
In Vidura’s counsel during the Udyoga Parva, he articulates ethical and spiritual principles; here he praises the renouncer who abandons household life and prioritizes liberation, describing the lofty destiny such a person attains.
