Shloka 5
जनक-राज्ञः मौण्ड्य-परिव्रज्या-विवादः
Janaka’s Renunciation Questioned; Discourse on Dāna and Detachment
Devanagari script
त॑ ददर्श प्रिया भार्या भैक्ष्यवृत्तिमकिंचनम् । धानामुष्टिमुपासीनं निरीहं गतमत्सरम्
Transliteration
taṁ dadarśa priyā bhāryā bhaikṣya-vṛttim akiñcanam | dhānā-muṣṭim upāsīnaṁ nirīhaṁ gata-matsaram ||
Translation
Ketika itu, isteri kesayangannya melihatnya—hidup dengan sedekah, tidak memiliki apa-apa, duduk hanya dengan segenggam bijirin panggang, bebas daripada gelisah mengejar-ngejar, dan telah menanggalkan rasa iri hati. Adegan ini menonjolkan cita-cita etika tentang kepuasan diri dan penyucian batin: pelepasan bukan untuk dipamerkan, melainkan kesederhanaan, pengendalian diri, dan kebebasan daripada persaingan terhadap orang lain.
