मृत्योर्ब्रह्मणा नियोजनम् — The Commissioning of Mṛtyu by Brahmā
जो सामान्यतः सम्पूर्ण भूतों और भौतिक गुणोंका त्याग कर देता है, उस मुनिका दुःख उसी प्रकार सुखपूर्वक अनायास नष्ट हो जाता है, जैसे सूर्योदयसे अन्धकार ।।
yaḥ sāmānyataḥ sampūrṇaṃ bhūtānāṃ bhautikaguṇānāṃ ca tyāgaṃ karoti, tasya muneḥ duḥkhaṃ tathā sukhapūrvakam anāyāsena naśyati yathā sūryodayād andhakāram. tamatikrāntakarmāṇam atikrāntaguṇakṣayam | brāhmaṇaṃ viṣayāśśliṣṭaṃ jarāmṛtyū na vindataḥ ||
毗耶娑说：“当圣者以普遍而彻底的方式，舍离对一切众生与物质德性（guṇa）的执著时，他的忧苦便轻易无劳而灭——如同日出之际黑暗自消。那超越业行之驱迫、耗尽诸guṇa之势，真实知梵（Brahman）而不缠于诸境者，不为老与死所夺。”

Educational Q&A
Suffering ends naturally when one relinquishes attachment to beings and material qualities; the Brahman-knower who is free from clinging to sense-objects and has transcended karma and the guṇas is not spiritually bound by aging and death.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on liberation, Vyāsa explains to the listener that renunciation and inner detachment lead to effortless dissolution of sorrow, using the sunrise-darkness image, and he characterizes the liberated knower as beyond karma, guṇas, and sense-attachment.
