Haṃsa–Sādhya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dama, Kṣamā and the Discipline of Speech
मृत्युनाभ्याहतं लोकं व्याधिभिश्नोपपीडितम् । अवृत्तिकर्शितं चैव य: पश्यति स मुच्यते,“जो इस जगत्को रोगोंसे पीड़ित, जीविकाके अभावसे दुर्बल और मृत्युके आघातसे नष्ट हुआ देखता है, वह मुक्त हो जाता है”
mṛtyunābhyāhataṃ lokaṃ vyādhibhiś nopapīḍitam | avṛttikarśitaṃ caiva yaḥ paśyati sa mucyate ||
毗湿摩说：若有人如实观见此世为死亡所击、为诸病所逼、又因生计匮乏而日渐枯槁——见其真实相者，便得解脱。

Educational Q&A
Liberation arises from right perception: when one sees the world as pervaded by death, disease, and insecurity of livelihood, attachment weakens and the mind turns toward release (mokṣa).
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and higher aims; here he emphasizes a contemplative insight into worldly suffering and impermanence as a means that leads toward freedom.
