Haṃsa–Sādhya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dama, Kṣamā and the Discipline of Speech
सुखं मोक्षसुखं लोके न च मूढो5वगच्छति । प्रसक्त: पुत्रपशुषु धनधान्यसमाकुल:
sukhaṁ mokṣa-sukhaṁ loke na ca mūḍho ’vagacchati | prasaktaḥ putra-paśuṣu dhana-dhānya-samākulaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：在此世间，唯有解脱（moksha）之乐才是真正的乐；然而迷妄之人却不能领会。那沉溺于聚敛财物与粮谷、又执著于子女与牲畜的人，对此真实终究不得其知。

Educational Q&A
Liberation (mokṣa) is presented as the only genuinely reliable happiness; worldly attachments—especially to wealth, provisions, children, and livestock—cloud discernment and prevent one from recognizing that higher good.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and the path beyond suffering, Bhishma continues advising the listener by contrasting transient household-centered preoccupations with the superior, enduring happiness of mokṣa.
