Śokanivāraṇa: Non-brooding, Impermanence, Contentment, and Śuka’s Renunciation
संयोगा विप्रयोगांता मरणांतं हि जीवितम् । अन्तो नास्ति पिपासायास्तुष्टिस्तु परमं सुखम् ॥ ३७ ॥
saṃyogā viprayogāṃtā maraṇāṃtaṃ hi jīvitam | anto nāsti pipāsāyāstuṣṭistu paramaṃ sukham || 37 ||
一切相会终归别离，生命确实终归死亡。贪渴无有尽头；唯有知足，才是至上的安乐。
