नारद-समङ्ग-संवादः — The Nārada–Samaṅga Dialogue on Fearlessness and Equanimity
यच्च कामसुखं लोके यच्च दिव्यं महत्सुखम् । तृष्णाक्षयसुखस्यैते नाहत: षोडशीं कलाम्
yac ca kāmasukhaṁ loke yac ca divyaṁ mahatsukham | tṛṣṇākṣayasukhasyaite nāhataḥ ṣoḍaśīṁ kalām ||
毗湿摩说道：世间由欲望而生的一切乐，以及天界那神圣而宏大的喜乐——二者都不及“渴爱枯竭”所生之乐的十六分之一。智者洞见分明，知道即便丰盛精妙的享受也与苦相系；愚者却常为微末的感官对象所迷惑而不自觉。

Educational Q&A
Sensual pleasure (kāma-sukha) and even heavenly pleasure are insignificant compared to the peace and joy that arise when craving is extinguished; true well-being is rooted in inner freedom rather than in objects of enjoyment.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and the path to peace, Bhishma teaches Yudhishthira by contrasting worldly and heavenly enjoyments with the superior happiness of desirelessness, urging a turn toward self-control and inner liberation.
