Verse 6.81.12

श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
आधयो व्याधयश्चैव द्वयं दुःखस्य कारणम् ।
तन्निवृत्तिः सुखं विद्यात्तत्क्षयो मोक्ष उच्यते ॥ १२ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
ādhayo vyādhayaścaiva dvayaṃ duḥkhasya kāraṇam |
tannivṛttiḥ sukhaṃ vidyāttatkṣayo mokṣa ucyate || 12 ||

Vasishtha replied:—Know Rama, that uneasiness and sickness, are both of them the causes of pain to the body;their healing by medicine is their remedy, which is attended with our pleasure; but the killing of them at once by our liberation (from the sensations of pain and pleasure), is what conduces to our true felicity.
