Śakra–Namuci-saṃvāda: Śoka-nivāraṇa and Daiva-vicāra
Indra and Namuci on grief, composure, and inevitability
अत्र सम्यग्वधो नाम त्यागशास्त्रमनुत्तमम् । शृणु यत् तव मोक्षाय भाष्यमाणं भविष्यति
atra samyagvadho nāma tyāgaśāstram anuttamam | śṛṇu yat tava mokṣāya bhāṣyamāṇaṃ bhaviṣyati ||
毗湿摩说道：“在此我将宣说无上之舍离教法，名为‘正杀（Samyagvadha）’——以正见与放下，彻底‘诛灭’诸苦。汝当专心谛听；我将所说，旨在引汝趋向解脱。”

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma introduces ‘Samyagvadha’ as a supreme doctrine of tyāga (renunciation): the ‘killing’ is symbolic—ending the causes of sorrow and bondage through right understanding, detachment, and a liberation-oriented discipline.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma, as the authoritative teacher, signals a transition into a focused exposition on a mokṣa-oriented doctrine, urging the listener to attend carefully because the forthcoming teaching is meant to lead to liberation.
