Adhyaya 44 — Subahu’s Counsel to the King of Kashi and Alarka’s Renunciation through Yoga
जड उवाच तातैनं त्वं समातिष्ठ मुक्तये योगमुत्तमम् ।
प्राप्स्यसे येन तद् ब्रह्म यत्र गत्वा न शोचसि ॥
jaḍa uvāca tāta enaṃ tvaṃ samātiṣṭha muktaye yogam uttamam | prāpsyase yena tad brahma yatra gatvā na śocasi ||
জড় বললেন—প্রিয়, মুক্তির জন্য এই পরম যোগ অবলম্বন করো। এর দ্বারা তুমি সেই ব্রহ্মকে লাভ করবে, যাঁকে লাভ করলে আর শোক থাকে না।

The practical directive is steadfast practice: liberation is not merely conceptual but achieved through sustained yoga leading to Brahman-realization and the end of grief.
Instructional dharma/mokṣa teaching within narrative context; not a direct pañcalakṣaṇa passage.
‘Where, having gone, one does not grieve’ echoes Upaniṣadic liberation markers: the cessation of śoka results from dissolving identification with the perishable and abiding as Brahman.
