Educational Q&A
Grief is rooted in attachment to sense-pleasures; by renouncing craving for enjoyments, one becomes steady and is freed from the moral downfall associated with falsehood.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses another person in a moral-exhortative tone, contrasting the untroubled state of the desireless with the anxiety of one still attached to pleasures, and urges renunciation as a path to liberation from untruth.
