यच्च कामसुखं लोके यच्च दिव्यं महत् सुखम् | तृष्णाक्षयसुखस्यैते नाहत: षोडशीं कलाम्
yacca kāmasukhaṁ loke yacca divyaṁ mahat sukham | tṛṣṇākṣayasukhasyaite nāhataḥ ṣoḍaśīṁ kalām ||
ဗြာဟ္မဏက ဆိုသည်မှာ—ဤလောက၌ အာရုံခံစားမှု၏ ပျော်ရွှင်မှုရှိသမျှနှင့် နောက်လောက၌ ရှိသော မဟာဒိဗ္ဗပျော်ရွှင်မှုတို့သည်၊ တဏှာပျောက်ကင်းခြင်းမှ ပေါ်လာသော ပျော်ရွှင်မှု၏ ဆယ့်ခြောက်ပုံတစ်ပုံတောင် မတူညီနိုင်။
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Worldly and even heavenly pleasures are minor compared to the peace and joy that come from ending craving; liberation-oriented happiness is qualitatively superior because it is not dependent on external objects and does not renew bondage.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, a Brāhmaṇa speaker contrasts ordinary sense-pleasures and celestial enjoyments with the higher happiness of tṛṣṇākṣaya (the fading away of thirst), urging an inward ethical turn toward detachment.
