Shloka 9
शुकस्य योगसिद्धिः (Śuka’s Yogic Attainment and Ascent)
Devanagari script
नैवास्य कश्चिद् भवति नासौ भवति कस्यचित्
Transliteration
naivāsya kaścid bhavati nāsau bhavati kasyacit
Translation
毗湿摩说道：“诚然，没有任何人真正‘属于’他，他也并不真正‘属于’任何人。”在《寂静法》（Śānti）的伦理视域中，这指出世间占有与执著的无常，劝人以更稳固的眼光守持责任与自制，而非紧抓“我的”与“你的”。

The verse denies absolute ownership and possession: relationships and belongings are not ultimately ‘mine’ or ‘yours’. This supports a dharmic ethic of reducing attachment, acting rightly without possessiveness, and recognizing the transient nature of worldly ties.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on righteous living after the war. Here he emphasizes a reflective, renunciatory insight—undercutting possessive claims that fuel grief, conflict, and moral confusion.
