Adhyaya 43 — Portents of Death (Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇas) and the Yogin’s Response; Alarka Renounces Kingship
अनर्थोऽप्यर्थतां याति पुरुषस्य शुभोदयॆ ।
यथेदमुपकाराय व्यसनं सङ्गमात्तव ॥
anartho ’py arthatāṃ yāti puruṣasya śubhodaye /
yathedam upakārāya vyasanaṃ saṅgamāt tava
جب مبارک بیداری پیدا ہو جائے تو مصیبت بھی انسان کے لیے بامعنی فائدہ بن جاتی ہے؛ جیسے آپ سے ملاقات کے سبب یہ بدقسمتی میرے لیے مددگار ثابت ہوئی۔

The value of events is shaped by one’s inner orientation. When one turns toward dharma and wisdom, even pain can serve as instruction and purification.
Moral-philosophical teaching embedded in a royal narrative; ancillary to the five-lakṣaṇa framework.
‘Śubhodaya’ can be read as the rise of sattva and viveka. With increased sattva, the same external event (vyasana) is transmuted into a means (upāya) for liberation.
