Shloka 27
जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
वह यह जीवात्मा पूर्वोक्त प्रकारसे ही मुक्त हो सकता है, अन्यथा नहीं। यही विद्वानोंका निश्चय है। यह दूसरेसे मिलकर उसीका समानधर्मी हो जाता है ।। विशुद्धधर्मा शुद्धेन बुद्धेन च स बुद्धिमान । विमुक्तधर्मा मुक्तेन समेत्य पुरुषर्षभ
viśuddhadharmā śuddhena buddhena ca sa buddhimān | vimuktadharmā muktena sametya puruṣarṣabha ||
قال فاسيشثا: يا ثورَ الرجال، إنّ هذه الذاتَ الحكيمة، وقد تطهّر سلوكُها، تصيرُ شبيهةً في الطبيعة بالواحدِ الطاهرِ المستيقظ الذي تُصاحبه. وكذلك من تحرّرتْ سجيّتُه يتّحدُ بالمتحرّر؛ فهكذا تُنالُ الموكشا على النحو الذي وُصف من قبل، لا على غيره—وهذا هو الحكمُ المستقرّ عند أهلِ العلم.
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation is achieved only through the previously stated discipline: purification of one’s nature and association with the pure and awakened. By meeting and aligning with the liberated, one becomes similar in disposition and moves toward freedom; this is presented as the firm conclusion of the learned.
Vasiṣṭha instructs his listener (addressed as ‘puruṣarṣabha’) within the Śānti Parva’s mokṣa-oriented discourse, emphasizing that the jīva’s transformation depends on purity and the company of the wise/liberated, not on any alternative route.
