Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)

यत्‌ फल ब्राह्मणस्येह मोक्षार्थश्ष॒ यदात्मक: । तस्मिन्‌ वै वर्तसे ब्रह्मन्‌ किमन्यत्‌ परिपृच्छसि

yat phalaṁ brāhmaṇasyeha mokṣārthaś ca yadātmakaḥ | tasmin vai vartase brahman kim anyat paripṛcchasi brahma ||

Dijo Janaka: «Ese mismo fruto que corresponde aquí a un brahmán, y esa misma naturaleza de la liberación buscada como mokṣa, moran en ti. Oh brahmán, ¿qué más deseas preguntar?»

Educational Q&A

Janaka affirms that the addressee is already established in the very attainment promised by true Brahminhood and in the essence of liberation; therefore further questioning is unnecessary—realization matters more than inquiry.

In a dialogue on liberation in the Śānti Parva, King Janaka addresses a Brahmin interlocutor, praising his established state in mokṣa-oriented wisdom and asking why he seeks further questions.
