Shloka 51
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 ||
Janaka dit : «Ce fruit même qui revient ici au brahmane, et cette nature même de la délivrance recherchée comme mokṣa, demeurent en toi. Ô brahmane, que veux-tu encore demander ?»
जनक उवाच
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.
