Adhyātma–Adhibhūta–Adhidaivata Correspondences and the Triguṇa Lakṣaṇas (Śānti-parva 301)
विमुक्त: पुण्यपापे भ्य: प्रविष्टस्तमनामयम् | परमात्मानमगुणं न निवर्तति भारत
vimuktaḥ puṇya-pāpebhyaḥ praviṣṭas tam anāmayam | paramātmānam aguṇaṃ na nivartati bhārata bhārata ||
Bhīṣma dit : Affranchi du mérite comme du péché, le sāṅkhya-yogin, une fois délivré, entre dans cet état sans tache et sans douleur : le Soi suprême, sans attributs (nirguṇa). Ô Bhārata, après s’être fondu dans cette Réalité suprême, il ne revient plus au cycle mondain des naissances et des morts.

Educational Q&A
Liberation is described as transcending both puṇya and pāpa (all karmic accounting) and entering the attributeless Supreme Self; one who attains this state does not return to saṃsāra.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira in the Śānti Parva, he explains the final outcome of the Sāṅkhya-yogin’s path: release from karmic dualities and irreversible union with the Supreme Reality.
