Shloka 29
त्रिवर्गविचारः
Tri-varga Deliberation: Dharma, Artha, Kāma
गृहानुत्सृज्य यो राजन् मोक्षमेवाभिपद्यते । लोकास्तेजोमयास्तस्य कल्पन्ते शाश्वती: समा:,राजन! जो घर-बार को छोड़कर मोक्षमार्गाका ही आश्रय लेता है, उसे अनन्त वर्षोके लिये दिव्य तेजोमय लोक प्राप्त होते हैं
gṛhān utsṛjya yo rājan mokṣam evābhipadyate | lokās tejo-mayās tasya kalpante śāśvatīḥ samāḥ ||
Bhishma berkata: “Wahai Raja, siapa yang meninggalkan kehidupan rumah tangga dan berlindung semata-mata pada jalan pembebasan, ia mencapai alam-alam ilahi yang bercahaya—dunia yang tersusun dari kemilau rohani—yang bertahan selama tahun-tahun tak terhitung.”

Educational Q&A
Renouncing attachment to household life and committing oneself wholly to mokṣa is praised as a superior spiritual choice, leading to exalted, luminous realms and long-lasting spiritual fruition.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs King Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma after the war. Here he highlights the merit and spiritual consequence of choosing the path of liberation through renunciation.
