49. O dear one, if after dying there is rebirth, then what is truly lost? If after dying there is no rebirth, then there is still peace. Moreover, if liberation (mokṣa) is attained through the power of discerning wisdom (vijñāna-dṛṣṭi), then for the noble-minded, there is absolutely no suffering (duḥkha) here.
