Aśmagīta: Janaka’s Inquiry on Loss, Kāla, and the Limits of Control (अश्मगीता)
इत्येवमाज्ञाय विदेहराजो वाक््यं समग्रं परिपूर्णहेतु: । अश्मानमामन्त्रय विशुद्धबुद्धि- ययौ गृहं स्वं प्रति शान्तशोक:
ity evam ājñāya videharājo vākyam samagraṃ paripūrṇahetuḥ | aśmānam āmantrya viśuddhabuddhir yayau gṛhaṃ svaṃ prati śāntaśokaḥ ||
于是，毗提诃之王阇那迦既已领会此番言辞之全体——完备而立于正理——便心智澄明，忧苦尽息。他恭敬辞别阿湿摩迦，归返自家宫室；所受教诲使其哀愁平定。

Educational Q&A
A well-reasoned instruction, when truly understood, purifies the intellect and pacifies grief; wisdom is shown not merely in hearing but in internalizing the rationale (hetu) and becoming śāntaśoka—free from sorrow.
Janaka, king of Videha, comprehends Aśmaka’s complete and reasoned discourse, becomes clear-minded and sorrowless, formally takes leave of Aśmaka, and returns to his own home.
