Shloka 33
Bhāgīrathī-tīra-śauca, Kurukṣetra-gamana, and Śatayūpa-āśrama-dīkṣā (गङ्गातीरशौच–कुरुक्षेत्रगमन–शतयूपाश्रमदीक्षा)
लोका: सान्तानिका नाम भविष्यन्त्यस्थ भारत । यतिधर्ममवाप्तोडसौ नैष शोच्य: परंतप
lokāḥ sāntānikā nāma bhaviṣyanty asya bhārata | yatidharmaṃ avāpto 'sau naiṣa śocyaḥ parantapa ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：“噢，婆罗多啊，他将得往名为‘善檀尼迦’（Sāntānika）的诸世界。既已成就遁世者之戒律（yati-dharma），故而，噢，焚灼仇敌者，他并非应当哀悼之人。”在此情境中，天启之声制止国王为毗度罗之身行火葬之礼，申明敬守出家遁世者之规即是法（dharma）本身，而毗度罗的灵性成就已使悲恸无所凭依。

Educational Q&A
One should not cling to conventional rites or grief when a person has attained yati-dharma (renunciant discipline). Spiritual attainment and adherence to ascetic rule redefine what is appropriate (dharma) and remove the basis for mourning.
As the king considers performing the cremation for Vidura’s body, a heavenly voice declares that cremation here is not proper because Vidura lived by renunciant discipline; instead, the king should refrain, and Vidura is said to attain the Sāntānika worlds—therefore he should not be mourned.
