Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 33
स्नेहाच्च सज्जनो नित्यं जन्तुर्दुःखमुपैति च । स्नेहमूलानि दुःखानि स्नेहजानि भायानि च
snehācca sajjano nityaṃ janturduḥkhamupaiti ca | snehamūlāni duḥkhāni snehajāni bhāyāni ca
เพราะความยึดติด แม้คนดีงามก็ยังประสบทุกข์อยู่เนืองนิตย์ ความทุกข์ทั้งหลายมีความยึดติดเป็นราก และความหวาดกลัวทั้งปวงก็เกิดจากความยึดติดนั้น
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta)
Scene: A noble person (sajjana) is shown bound by a soft but tightening cord labeled ‘sneha’; from it sprout dark shapes of ‘duḥkha’ and ‘bhaya’—illustrating how attachment births sorrow and fear.
FAQs
Virtue alone does not prevent grief if attachment remains; fear and sorrow dissolve as clinging is reduced.
