Adhyaya 44 — Subahu’s Counsel to the King of Kashi and Alarka’s Renunciation through Yoga
तदस्य दुःखाद्वैराग्यं सम्बोधादवनिपते ।
समुद्भूतं कृतं कार्यं भद्रं तेऽस्तु व्रजाम्यहम् ॥
tad asya duḥkhād vairāgyaṃ saṃbodhād avanipate / samudbhūtaṃ kṛtaṃ kāryaṃ bhadraṃ te ’stu vrajāmy aham
Demikianlah, daripada dukacita—dan daripada kesedaran yang terjaga—telah timbul padanya vairāgya (ketidakmelekatan), wahai raja. Tugas telah selesai. Semoga kebaikan menyertaimu; aku berangkat pergi.

The end of intervention is autonomy: once insight arises, the helper withdraws. The verse models non-possessive guidance—do what is needed, then let go.
Ethical narrative (nīti/ācāra), not a pañcalakṣaṇa cosmological unit.
Detachment is said to arise from both duḥkha and saṃbodha: pain initiates the break, awakening completes it—suggesting a two-step inner process (shock → insight).
