Prāyaścitta-vidhāna: Tapas, Dāna, Vrata, and Proportional Expiation (प्रायश्चित्तविधानम्)
एवंवृत्त: प्रियैदरि: संवसन् धर्ममाप्नुयात् । 'जैसे गृहत्यागी संन्यासी घरके प्रति अनासक्त होता है
evaṁvṛttaḥ priyaiḥ sārdhaṁ saṁvasan dharmam āpnuyāt |
毗耶娑说道:能如是而住者——与所爱同居于家,却不为占有与执著所缚——便能圆满成就法(dharma)。此教诲指出:即便是居家者,也当修习如行脚出家人般的内在出离;身在家中而能放下系恋,于是行持正道而不为其所系。
व्यास उवाच
A householder can attain the full fruit of dharma by living with loved ones while abandoning possessiveness and attachment—practicing inner renunciation without necessarily abandoning the home.
Vyāsa delivers a normative instruction in the Śānti Parva: he describes the ideal mode of household living—residing with one’s dear ones but with a renunciate’s non-attachment—presenting it as a path to complete dharmic fulfillment.
