Book 14, Chapter 43
संन्यासी ज्ञानसंयुक्तः प्राप्रोति परमां गतिम् | अतीतो द्वन्द्मभ्येति तमोमृत्युजरातिग:
saṃnyāsī jñānasaṃyuktaḥ prāpnoti paramāṃ gatim | atīto dvandvam abhyeti tamo-mṛtyu-jarātigaḥ ||
Vāyu dit : «Le renonçant, uni à la connaissance véritable, atteint la fin suprême. Ayant dépassé les couples d’opposés, il franchit les ténèbres de l’ignorance et, transcendant la mort et la vieillesse, parvient à l’état souverain.»

Educational Q&A
Renunciation becomes spiritually effective when joined with liberating knowledge: by overcoming attachment to dualities (dvandvas) and piercing the darkness of ignorance, one transcends fear of death and decay and attains the supreme goal (paramā gati).
Vāyu (the Wind-god) is speaking, describing the fruit of true saṃnyāsa: the knowledgeable renunciant rises beyond worldly oppositions and reaches the highest state, emphasizing inner transformation over mere external withdrawal.
