Dharma-Pramāṇa-Vicāra: The Elusiveness of Dharma and the Limits of Rule-Lists
मनोबुद्धिपरा भूत: स्वदेहपरदेहवित् । स्वप्लेष्वपि भवत्येष विज्ञाता सुखदु:खयो:
manobuddhiparo bhūtaḥ svadeha-paradeha-vit | svapneṣv api bhavaty eṣa vijñātā sukha-duḥkhayoḥ ||
毗耶娑说：当个体之我受心与智（manas-buddhi）所支配时，仍会分别认定“这是我的身体”“那是他人的身体”。即便在梦境之中，这样的知者也会借由微细身受乐与苦——表明对心识机能的系缚，会把可感的后果带到清醒之外。
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
So long as the self is ruled by mind and intellect, it continues to operate with body-identification and dualistic cognition, and therefore undergoes pleasure and pain even in dreams—implying that inner governance (not merely external circumstances) sustains suffering.
Vyāsa is explaining a psychological-metaphysical point in the Śānti Parva’s instruction: the experiencer (jīva) carries subtle impressions and cognition into the dream-state, where it still ‘knows’ self/other in relation to bodies and thus feels sukha and duḥkha.
