Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
सांख्यज्ञान, योगविद्या तथा राजधर्म--इन तीन प्रकारके मोक्षधर्ममें मुझे गन्तव्य मार्ग गुरुदेवसे प्राप्त हो चुका है। इन विषयोंके मेरे सारे संशय दूर हो गये हैं ।।
Janaka uvāca: Sāṅkhyajñānaṃ, yogavidyā tathā rājadharma—eteṣu trividheṣu mokṣadharmeṣu mama gantavya-mārgo gurudevāt prāptaḥ. Eṣu viṣayeṣu mama sarve saṃśayā nivṛttāḥ. Sa yathā-śāstra-dṛṣṭena mārgeṇeha paribhraman vārṣikāṃ caturō māsān purā mayi sukham uṣitaḥ.
શાસ્ત્રોક્ત માર્ગે ભ્રમણ કરતાં કરતાં એક વખત તેઓ અહીં આવી પહોંચ્યા, અને વર્ષાઋતુના ચાર મહિના મારા અહીં સુખપૂર્વક રહ્યા.

Educational Q&A
Liberation-oriented dharma is presented as a threefold discipline—Sāṅkhya (discriminative knowledge), Yoga (practical inner discipline), and Rājadharma (ethical governance). Janaka emphasizes that right guidance from a guru, grounded in śāstra, resolves doubt and clarifies one’s proper path.
Janaka recalls an earlier episode: his teacher, traveling in accordance with scriptural custom, arrived at Janaka’s place and stayed there for the four rainy-season months (cāturmāsya). During that association Janaka received instruction, after which his uncertainties about these mokṣa-teachings were removed.
