Dama-pradhāna-dharma (Self-restraint as the Root of Dharma) — Śānti-parva 154
पुत्रशोकाभितप्तानां मृतानामद्य व: क्षमम् । सुखसम्भावनं कृत्वा धारयित्वा सुखं स्वयम् | त्यक्त्वा गमिष्यथ क्वाद्य समुत्सृज्याल्पबुद्धिवत्
jambuka uvāca | putraśokābhitaptānāṁ mṛtānām adya vaḥ kṣamam | sukhasambhāvanaṁ kṛtvā dhārayitvā sukhaṁ svayam | tyaktvā gamiṣyatha kvādya samutsṛjyālpabuddhivat ||
贾姆布迦说道：“你们因丧子之痛而如火灼身，仿佛已是死人。故今日你们如此转身退去，并不相宜。既已因这孩子而设想幸福之可能，又亲自紧握获得那幸福的希望——如今若像愚昧之人一般将他弃置，你们今日还能往何处去？”

Educational Q&A
Do not let grief drive you into rash, self-defeating abandonment; when a path to renewed well-being is possible, one should sustain hope and act with steadiness and responsibility rather than foolishly casting it away.
Jambuka addresses people overwhelmed by the loss of a son, rebuking their impulse to withdraw or give up; he urges them to hold to the prospect of happiness connected with the child and not abandon him in despair.
