Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
वायुदेव उवाच इत्युक्त: स तदा शिष्यो गुरुणा धर्ममुत्तमम् । चकार सर्व कौन्तेय ततो मोक्षमवाप्तवान्
vāyudeva uvāca | ity uktaḥ sa tadā śiṣyo guruṇā dharmam uttamam | cakāra sarva kaunteya tato mokṣam avāptavān |
Vāyudeva dit : «Ainsi instruit par son maître, ce disciple mit pleinement en pratique le dharma suprême. C’est pourquoi, ô fils de Kuntī, il atteignit la délivrance — la liberté hors des liens de l’existence mondaine.»
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Right instruction must be followed by complete practice: when the disciple fully performs the highest dharma taught by the guru, the fruit is mokṣa—release from saṃsāra’s bondage.
Vāyudeva concludes an exemplum addressed to Arjuna (Kaunteya): after the guru’s counsel, the disciple undertakes the prescribed supreme dharma in its entirety and, as a result, attains liberation.
