अरण्यवृत्ति-वैराग्योपदेशः | Forest Discipline and the Program of Non-Attachment
एवमारण्यशास्त्राणामुग्रमुग्रतरं विधिम् । सेवमान: प्रतीक्षिष्ये देहस्यास्य समापनम्
evam āraṇyaśāstrāṇām ugram ugrataraṁ vidhim | sevamānaḥ pratīkṣiṣye dehasyāsya samāpanam ||
因此,我将遵行经典为林居苦行者所规定的最严酷——且愈加严酷——的戒律,静候此身寿命的终尽。在这一誓愿中,坚忍与自制被由提施提罗确立为合乎法(dharma)的伦理回应:不是逃避,而是有意承担清苦之行,直至生命依其自然走向终结。
युधिछिर उवाच
The verse teaches steadfast adherence to prescribed dharma through austerity and restraint: one should follow the disciplined path appropriate to one’s chosen life-stage or vow, enduring hardship without impatience, and accept the natural end of life without forcing it.
Yudhiṣṭhira speaks of his resolve to live by the strict rules laid down for forest-dwelling ascetics, committing himself to severe observances and to patiently await the completion of his bodily lifespan.
