मर्त्यलोकाद् विमुच्यन्ते विद्यासंसक्तचेतस: । ब्रह्म भूता विरजसस्ततो यान्ति परां गतिम्,जिनका मन ज्ञानके साधनमें लगा हुआ है, वे मर्त्यलोकके बन्धनसे छूट जाते हैं और रजोगुणसे रहित एवं ब्रह्मस्वरूप हो परम गतिको प्राप्त कर लेते हैं
Transliteration
martyalokād vimucyante vidyāsaṁsaktacetasaḥ | brahmabhūtā virajasas tato yānti parāṁ gatim ||
Translation
Bhīṣma said: Those whose minds are firmly absorbed in the means of true knowledge are released from the bondage of the mortal world. Becoming stainless—free from the dust of passion—and established in Brahman, they then attain the highest destination.
