त्रिवर्गविचारः
Tri-varga Deliberation: Dharma, Artha, Kāma
निष्क्रम्य वनमास्थाय ज्ञानयुक्तो जितेन्द्रिय: । कालाकांक्षी चरत्येवं ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते,ज्ञानसम्पन्न जितेन्द्रिय पुरुष घरसे निकलकर वनका आश्रय ले वहाँ मृत्युकालकी प्रतीक्षा करता हुआ निर्द्धन्द् विचरता रहता है। इस प्रकार वह ब्रह्मभावको प्राप्त होनेमें समर्थ हो जाता है
niṣkramya vanam āsthāya jñānayukto jitendriyaḥ | kālākāṅkṣī caratyevaṃ brahmabhūyāya kalpate ||
Бхишма сказал: Оставив дом и укрывшись в лесу, человек, сопряжённый с истинным знанием и покоривший свои чувства, продолжает жить спокойно, ожидая назначенного часа смерти. Живя так — без смятения и привязанности — он становится достоин достичь состояния Брахмана (окончательного духовного свершения).
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that one who leaves household attachment, lives in the forest with knowledge and sense-control, and calmly accepts mortality becomes qualified for liberation—attaining Brahman-hood through disciplined detachment.
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma and the stages of life, he describes the renunciant/forest-dweller who departs from home, lives austerely and peacefully, and waits for death without anxiety, thereby progressing toward the highest spiritual goal.
