Yayāti’s Summons to Heaven and the Teaching on Old Age, the Five-Element Body, and Self–Body Discernment
नाशमायांति ते सर्वे बहुपीडा प्रपीडिताः । एतत्ते सर्वमाख्यातमन्यत्किं ते वदाम्यहम्
nāśamāyāṃti te sarve bahupīḍā prapīḍitāḥ | etatte sarvamākhyātamanyatkiṃ te vadāmyaham
Todos eles, esmagados por muitas aflições, chegam à ruína. Tudo isto te declarei; que mais poderia eu dizer-te?

Concept: Worldly existence culminates in collapse when beset by compounded suffering; therefore one should seek the higher remedy beyond mere narration of misery.
Application: When overwhelmed, stop ruminating on problems and ask for the actionable dharmic remedy—practice steady devotion, charity, and restraint rather than despair.
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: shanta
