Shloka 12
अव्यक्त–व्यक्त–कारणकार्यविवेकः
Avyakta–Vyakta and Causality: Discrimination of Field and Knower
यस्तांस्त्यजति शब्दादीन् सर्वाश्व व्यक्तयस्तथा । विमुज्चेत् प्राकृतान्ग्रामांस्तान् मुक्त्वामृतमश्चुते
bhīṣma uvāca | yastāṁstyajati śabdādīn sarvāś ca vyaktayas tathā | vimucyet prākṛtān grāmāṁs tān muktvāmṛtam aśnute ||
ビーシュマは言った。「音声をはじめとする感官対象を捨て、またそれらを支える一切の顕現した原理をも捨て、プラクリティより生じた自然の集合から解き放たれる者は—それらを棄て去って—不死の実在に到達する。」

Educational Q&A
Freedom is gained by severing attachment to sense-objects (beginning with sound) and to the entire manifest field of Prakriti; when the seeker relinquishes these aggregates, he attains the deathless Reality (amṛta), i.e., liberation.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira on the path to peace and liberation, presenting a contemplative discipline: withdrawing from sensory entanglement and from identification with manifested constituents of nature.
