Shloka 15
धर्मसूक्ष्मे त्यागप्रधान्यविचारः
Subtle Dharma and the Primacy of Renunciation
इसके सिवा जो दक्षिण मार्ग है, जिसे प्रकाशपूर्ण बताया गया है, वहाँ जो लोक हैं, वे सकाम कर्म करनेवाले उन गृहस्थोंके लिये हैं, जो श्मशान-भूमिका सेवन करते हैं (जन्म- मरणके चक््करमें पड़े रहते हैं) ।।
anirdeśyā gatiḥ sā tu yāṃ prapaśyanti mokṣiṇaḥ | tasmād yogaḥ pradhāneṣṭaḥ sa tu duḥkhaṃ pravedayitum ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「解脱を求める者が直に観ずるその境地は、言葉で指し示すことができない。ゆえにヨーガ—ここでは解放へ導く智慧と内なる実現の修行—こそ、あらゆる手段のうち最も第一で、最も望ましきものとされる。だが、その本性を言辞によって余すところなく明らかにするのは、きわめて困難である。」
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation is a direct realization that cannot be fully captured by language; therefore the inner discipline of yoga—especially knowledge-oriented realization—is regarded as the highest means, though it is difficult to articulate and grasp conceptually.
In the Śānti Parva’s reflective dialogue, Yudhiṣṭhira speaks about the nature of the liberative goal and the superiority of the yogic path, contrasting describable worldly destinations with the indescribable realization known to those pursuing mokṣa.
