Saṃsāra-gahana-jñāna: Vidura’s Account of Embodiment, Bondage, and Dharmic Release (संसारगहन-ज्ञानम्)
तथैव परिरक्षन्ति ये ध्यानपरिनिषिता: । अयं न बुध्यते तावद् यमलोकमथागतम्,जो लोग भगवानके ध्यानमें लगे रहनेवाले हैं, वे ही शास्त्रके अनुसार चलकर अपनी रक्षा कर पाते हैं। साधारण जीव तो अपने सामने आये हुए यमलोकको भी नहीं समझ पाता है
tathaiva parirakṣanti ye dhyānapariniṣṭhitāḥ | ayaṃ na budhyate tāvad yamalokam athāgatam ||
同样，那些安住于禅定、心志坚固的人，依照《圣典》（śāstra）而行，便能自护其身；而凡夫却连阎摩之界（阎罗之境）已现于眼前也不能觉知——对死亡的逼近与业报的道德后果，竟如此昏盲。

Educational Q&A
Steadfast meditation joined with śāstric conduct becomes a true protection: it cultivates clarity and moral vigilance. By contrast, the untrained mind remains heedless—even when death and accountability (symbolized by Yamaloka) are effectively at the doorstep.
Vidura is offering a reflective, ethical observation in the aftermath context of the war: he contrasts the spiritually disciplined—who can guard themselves through inner steadiness and right conduct—with ordinary people who remain deluded and fail to recognize the nearness of death and its consequences.
