Instruction on the Cessation of Craving

कपिल उवाच यद्‌ यदाचरते शास्त्रमर्थ्य सर्वप्रवृत्तिषु । यस्य यत्र ह्ानुष्ठानं तत्र तत्र निरामयम्‌,कपिलने कहा--जो-जो शास्त्र जिस-जिस अर्थका आचरण--प्रतिपादन करता है, वह-वह सभी प्रवृत्तियोंमें सफल होता है। जिस साधनका जहाँ अनुष्ठान होता है, वहाँ-वहाँ अक्षय सुखकी प्राप्ति होती है

kapila uvāca | yad yad ācarate śāstram arthyaṃ sarva-pravṛttiṣu | yasya yatra hy anuṣṭhānaṃ tatra tatra nirāmayam ||

కపిలుడు అన్నాడు—శాస్త్రం ఏ ఏ మానవ ప్రవృత్తులలో ఏ ఏ ఆచరణను యోగ్యమని నిర్దేశిస్తుందో, ఆ ఆచరణ ఆ ఆ ప్రవృత్తులలో ఫలిస్తుంది. ఏ సాధనాన్ని ఎక్కడ విధివిధానంగా ఆచరిస్తారో, అక్కడక్కడ నిరామయమైన క్షేమం—అక్షయ సుఖం—ఉద్భవిస్తుంది।

Educational Q&A

That śāstra-guided conduct, when applied appropriately to one’s chosen pursuit, reliably yields its proper result; disciplined observance (anuṣṭhāna) produces wholesome, affliction-free well-being.

In the didactic discourse of Śānti Parva, the sage Kapila instructs on the efficacy of prescribed disciplines: practices taught by śāstra succeed when performed in their proper context, leading to enduring welfare.
