毗度罗说：当先得子嗣，使其脱离债累，并为其筹措相宜生计；又当按时将诸女嫁与称当之夫——唯有在此之后，方可退居林野，愿行牟尼之清规苦行。出离并非逃避责任，唯尽家国之责而后，方为其时。

Educational Q&A
Renunciation (forest-dwelling, sage-life) is proper only after completing household duties: raising children, settling them with livelihood, and marrying daughters appropriately. Dharma requires responsibility before withdrawal.
Vidura is giving ethical counsel (nīti) in the Udyoga Parva, outlining the correct sequence of life: fulfill familial and social obligations first, and only then adopt the ascetic/forest stage.
