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 ||
Vidura diz: Quem verdadeiramente abandona a vida doméstica e fixa o seu alvo somente na libertação—tendo mokṣa como o fim supremo—para esse estão preparados no céu reinos eternos feitos de radiância. O verso enaltece a renúncia voltada à liberdade espiritual, apresentando-a como um caminho que conduz a um destino elevado e luminoso.
