तृष्णाक्षय-उपदेशः
Instruction on the Cessation of Craving
यथाश्रममुपासीत आगमस्तत्र सिध्यति । सिद्धि: प्रत्यक्षरूपा च दृश्यत्यागमनिश्चयात्
yathāśramam upāsīta āgamas tatra sidhyati | siddhiḥ pratyakṣarūpā ca dṛśyaty āgamanīścayāt ||
迦毗罗教示：人应依自身所处的住期（阿湿罗摩，āśrama）而修其相应之法。若能如法奉行该住期所规定的职责，则圣教传承（阿伽摩，āgama）之权威与宗旨便在其处得以成就。并且，由经教所立的坚固信解，果报——灵性成就——将在生活体验中亲证而显现。

Educational Q&A
Practice the duties and disciplines appropriate to your own āśrama; by such faithful observance the scriptural teaching is validated in life, and its promised attainment becomes directly evident through firm scriptural conviction.
In the Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, Kapila is explaining a principle of right conduct: spiritual progress is not one-size-fits-all but depends on correctly following the dharma prescribed for one’s life-stage, which makes the truth of the tradition experientially manifest.
