अध्याय ३३ — धृतराष्ट्रस्य कुशलप्रश्नाः तथा विदुरस्य योगसमाधिः
Chapter 33: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Welfare-Inquiries and Vidura’s Yogic Absorption
वियोगे दोषदर्शी य: संयोगं स विसर्जयेत् । असड़े सड़मो नास्ति दुःखं भूवि वियोगजम्
viyoge doṣadarśī yaḥ saṃyogaṃ sa visṛjayet | asaṅge saṅgamo nāsti duḥkhaṃ bhūvi viyogajam ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：“若人在离别之中只见过失，当舍弃对相聚本身的执著。因为在真实的不执之境，根本无所谓‘系缚’或‘结合’。唯有那把‘相聚’之想强加于本来不执的真我者，才必须在此世间承受由离别而生的悲苦。”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Suffering from separation arises because one clings to the notion of ‘union’ and ‘possession.’ Cultivating asaṅga (non-attachment) removes the very basis for the pain of viyoga (separation), since the Self is not truly bound by connections.
In the Ashramavāsika context, the narration turns toward renunciatory reflection: Vaiśampāyana articulates a teaching that reframes grief and parting as products of attachment, aligning the forest-dwelling, end-of-life mood of the parva with vairāgya and inner steadiness.
