Adhyāya 10

Summary

Adhyāya (अध्याय) 10 says pleasure and pain are different things, and it closes on the authority of the Veda. What is pleasant is not the absence of pain. The last lines return to testimony, so the book ends where dharma was opened.

नेपालीमा

अध्याय १० ले सुख र दुःख भिन्न कुरा हुन् भन्छ, र वेदको प्रमाणमा टुङ्गिन्छ। सुख दुःखको अभाव होइन। अन्तिम पङ्क्तिहरू शब्दमा फर्कन्छन्, त्यसैले पुस्तक धर्म खोलिएकै ठाउँमा सकिन्छ।
