Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
वायुदेव उवाच इत्युक्त: स तदा शिष्यो गुरुणा धर्ममुत्तमम् । चकार सर्व कौन्तेय ततो मोक्षमवाप्तवान्,श्रीकृष्णने कहा--अर्जुन! गुरुदेवके ऐसा कहनेपर उस शिष्यने समस्त उत्तम धर्मोंका पालन किया। इससे वह संसार-बन्धनसे मुक्त हो गया
vāyudeva uvāca | ity uktaḥ sa tadā śiṣyo guruṇā dharmam uttamam | cakāra sarva kaunteya tato mokṣam avāptavān |
Vāyudeva said: “Thus instructed by his teacher, that disciple then practiced the highest dharma in full. Therefore, O son of Kuntī, he attained liberation—freedom from the bondage of worldly existence.”
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.
