One should complete and repay one’s obligations (ṛṇa)—to people, dependents, benefactors, and duties—before withdrawing from life; ethical freedom is framed as becoming anṛṇa, ‘debtless’.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that a certain person, after settling what he owed to others, departed from this world and reached a state or realm described as avācyatā—beyond ordinary mention—signaling death or transcendence after duties are fulfilled.
