Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment

पृथ्वीमिमां यद्यपि रत्नपूर्णा दद्यान्न देयं त्विदमव्रताय । जितेन्द्रियायैतदसंशयं ते भवेत्‌ प्रदेयं परम नरेन्द्र,नरेन्द्र! जिसने व्रत और नियमोंका पालन न किया हो, वह यदि रत्नोंसे भरी हुई इस सारी पृथ्वीका राज्य दे तो भी उसे इस ज्ञानका उपदेश नहीं देना चाहिये। परंतु जितेन्द्रिय पुरुषको निस्संदेह इस परम उत्तम ज्ञानका उपदेश देना तुझे उचित है

pṛthvīm imāṃ yadyapi ratnapūrṇāṃ dadyān na deyaṃ tv idam avratāya | jitendriyāyaitad asaṃśayaṃ te bhavet pradeyaṃ parama nareन्द्र, nareन्द्र ||

Vasiṣṭha said: “Even if a man were to offer this entire earth filled with jewels, this teaching should not be given to one who is without vows and disciplined observances. But to a self-controlled person, O king, it should certainly be imparted—indeed, it is right for you to bestow this supreme knowledge upon him.”
