Adhyāya 262: Śabda-brahman, Para-brahman, and the Ethics of Tyāga
Kapila–Syūmaraśmi Saṃvāda
तथा प्रज्ञानतृप्तस्य नित्यतृप्ति: सुखोदया । जैसे सब प्रकारके रसोंसे तृप्त हुआ मनुष्य किसी भी रसका अभिनन्दन नहीं करता
tathā prajñāna-tṛptasya nitya-tṛptiḥ sukhodayā |
丘拉达罗教诲道:“对于被智慧彻底充盈之人——其内在安住于真实的了悟——便生起一种恒常而自持的满足,成为长久安乐之源。正如尝遍诸味而已饱足的人,不再追逐某一种滋味;同样,洞见之乐已圆满的知者,不复向外求取快慰,而安住于无尽的福乐。”
चुलाधार उवाच
True and lasting happiness arises from fulfillment in wisdom (prajñāna). When one is inwardly satisfied by knowledge, craving for external pleasures fades, and a steady, inexhaustible contentment remains.
In the Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, Chūlādhāra is explaining an ethical-spiritual principle: the person established in wisdom becomes naturally content, like someone already satiated by all tastes, and therefore no longer seeks validation or pleasure from particular sense-objects.
