Shloka 25
Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)
अनेन क्रमयोगेन बहुजातिषु कर्मणाम् । हित्वा शुभाशुभं॑ कर्म मोक्षो नामेह लभ्यते
anena kramayogena bahujātiṣu karmaṇām | hitvā śubhāśubhaṃ karma mokṣo nāmeha labhyate ||
জনকে ক’লে—এই ক্রমযোগৰ দ্বাৰা, বহু জন্মত নানাবিধ কৰ্ম সম্পাদন কৰিও, শুভ আৰু অশুভ—দুয়ো কৰ্মৰ প্ৰতি আসক্তি ত্যাগ কৰিলে ইয়াত ‘মোক্ষ’ নামে যি সিদ্ধি, সেয়া লাভ হয়।

Educational Q&A
Liberation is attained through a gradual discipline (krama-yoga) in which one continues to act, yet relinquishes clinging to the moral/ritual polarity of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ actions—i.e., abandoning possessiveness and self-centered attachment to results and identity built on merit or sin.
King Janaka is speaking in a didactic setting within the Śānti Parva, presenting a philosophical instruction: over many lives of practice and duty, one matures into detachment, and through that renunciation of attachment to action’s dualities, one reaches mokṣa.
