Adhyāya 51: Kṛṣṇa’s Leave-Taking and Departure for Dvārakā (द्वारकागमनानुमति)
ततस्त्वं सम्यगाचीर्णे धर्मेडस्मिन्नरिकर्षण । सर्वपापविनिर्मुक्तो मोक्ष प्राप्स्पसि केवलम्,शत्रुदमन! इस धर्मका पूर्णतया आचरण करनेपर तुम समस्त पापोंसे छूटकर विशुद्ध मोक्षको प्राप्त कर लोगे
tatastvaṁ samyag ācīrṇe dharme ’sminn arikarṣaṇa | sarvapāpavinirmukto mokṣaṁ prāpsyasi kevalam, śatrudamana ||
Then, O subduer of foes, when you have rightly and fully practiced this dharma, you will be freed from all sins and attain pure liberation alone. Thus Vāyu declares that sincere, complete observance of the prescribed righteous path culminates in moral purification and final release.

Educational Q&A
Complete and correct practice of the prescribed dharma purifies one from all pāpa (moral demerit) and leads to kevala-mokṣa—pure, unmixed liberation. The verse links ethical discipline with inner purification and final freedom.
Vāyudeva is speaking to a heroic listener (addressed with epithets like arikarṣaṇa and śatrudamana), concluding an instruction by promising the fruit of that teaching: if the listener truly follows the dharma being taught, he will be freed from sin and attain liberation.
