Adhyaya 37 — Alarka’s Crisis and the Teaching on Non-Attachment (Madālasa’s Instruction Recalled)
वाचयित्वा तु बहुशो नृणां श्रेयः कथं त्विति ।
मुमुक्षयेति निश्चित्य सा च तत्सङ्गतो यतः ॥
vācayitvā tu bahuśo nṛṇāṃ śreyaḥ kathaṃ tv iti /
mumukṣayeti niścitya sā ca tat-saṅgato yataḥ //
เมื่อใคร่ครวญซ้ำแล้วซ้ำเล่าว่า “ประโยชน์สูงสุดของมนุษย์จะบรรลุได้อย่างไร?” เขาจึงสรุปว่า “ด้วยความใฝ่หาโมกษะ” และความใฝ่นั้นย่อมเกิดจากการคบหาสัตบุรุษเช่นนั้น.

The verse links human flourishing (śreyas) to liberation-intent (mumukṣā) and identifies its practical cause: proximity to the wise. Ethical life becomes oriented by the goal one repeatedly contemplates.
This is narrative-ethical instruction supporting the Purāṇa’s teaching function; it is not itself a sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita passage.
Repeated contemplation is shown as a samskāra-forming practice: the mind’s question (‘how to attain śreyas’) matures into mumukṣā, catalyzed by the subtle influence-field of realized company.
