Shloka 22
जनक उवाच न विना ज्ञानविज्ञाने मोक्षस्याधिगमो भवेत् | न विना गुरुसम्बन्ध॑ ज्ञानस्याधिगम: स्मृत:,जनकने कहा--्रह्मन! जैसे ज्ञान-विज्ञानके बिना मोक्षकी प्राप्ति नहीं होती, उसी प्रकार सदगुरुसे सम्बन्ध हुए बिना ज्ञानकी प्राप्ति नहीं हो सकती
janaka uvāca | na vinā jñāna-vijñāne mokṣasyādhigamo bhavet | na vinā guru-sambandhaṁ jñānasyādhigamaḥ smṛtaḥ |
قال جانَكا: «من غير المعرفة والفهم المُتحقَّق بالخبرة المباشرة لا يكون نيلُ التحرّر (الموكشا). وكذلك يُعلَّم أن المعرفة لا تُكتسَب حقًّا من غير صلةٍ حيّةٍ بمعلّمٍ صادقٍ».
जनक उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation requires both jñāna (right understanding) and vijñāna (realized, discriminative insight), and such knowledge is traditionally said to arise through a genuine relationship with a competent guru rather than through isolated study alone.
In the didactic setting of the Śānti Parva, Janaka speaks as a teacher-king in a discourse on liberation, emphasizing the necessity of realized knowledge and the indispensable role of the guru–disciple connection in attaining it.
