About this episode
This episode discusses how one should conduct oneself in old age and the natural feelings associated with it.
अनया कथया वार्धक्ये कथं व्यवहरणीयम् इति ज्ञातुं शक्नुमः । पुत्राः प्रमादं कुर्युः इति भीतिः, मम अनुभवस्य उपयोगं कुर्युः इति अपेक्षा इत्यादयः वार्धक्ये सहजाः । तादृशीं मानसिकताम् अवहतः कस्यचन ज्येष्ठस्य जीवनं निश्चयेन अस्ति अनुकरणार्हम् । प्रायः असंमोहः नाम अयमेव । (“केन्द्रीयसंस्कृतविश्वविद्यालयस्य अष्टादशीयोजनान्तर्गततया एतासां कथानां ध्वनिप्रक्षेपणं क्रियते”) This story teaches how one should conduct oneself in old age. Fear that sons may neglect them, or expectation that their experience will be valued—such feelings are natural in old age. Yet the life of one elder who overcame such attitudes is truly worthy of imitation. This clarity of mind is called asammohah (freedom from delusion).
