Śreyas-nirdeśa (Discerning the Superior Good): Nārada–Gālava Saṃvāda
नास्ति रागसमं दुःखं नास्ति त्यागसमं सुखम्
nāsti rāgasamaṃ duḥkhaṃ nāsti tyāgasamaṃ sukham
毗湿摩说道：“没有任何痛苦能胜过执著（贪染），也没有任何快乐能胜过舍离。”在《寂静篇》的教诲中，他指出：渴求与攀缘是最深的苦因，而放下则是安宁与福祉最可靠的根基。

Attachment (rāga)—the mind’s clinging to people, pleasures, outcomes, and possessions—produces the greatest suffering because it breeds fear of loss, frustration, jealousy, and bondage to desire. Renunciation (tyāga)—releasing possessiveness and fixation—yields the greatest happiness because it brings inner freedom, contentment, and steadiness.
In Śānti Parva, after the war, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and the means to peace of mind and righteous living. This verse occurs within that didactic setting, summarizing a key moral-psychological insight: suffering is rooted in attachment, while peace arises from letting go.
