अध्याय २९४ — योगलक्षणम् तथा सांख्यपरिसंख्यानम्
Yoga Definition and Sāṃkhya Enumeration
न संकरेण द्रविणं प्रचिन्वीयाद् विचक्षण: । धर्मार्थ न्यायमुत्सूज्य न तत् कल्याणमुच्यते
na saṅkareṇa draviṇaṁ pracinvīyād vicakṣaṇaḥ | dharmārtha-nyāyam utsṛjya na tat kalyāṇam ucyate ||
Ang taong may pag-unawa ay hindi dapat magtipon ng yaman sa paraang marumi o halo-halong kasamaan. Kapag iniwan ang katarungan at dharma alang-alang sa pakinabang, hindi iyon itinuturing na tunay na kabutihan o kapakanan.
पराशर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Wealth should be acquired only through clean, just, and dharmic means; abandoning nyāya (justice) and dharma for artha (gain) is not true kalyāṇa (welfare).
In Śānti Parva’s instruction-oriented discourse, the sage Parāśara delivers a moral maxim: the wise should avoid accumulating riches through tainted methods, emphasizing that unethical gain cannot be called genuinely beneficial.
