मृत्योर्ब्रह्मणा नियोजनम् — The Commissioning of Mṛtyu by Brahmā
जो सामान्यतः सम्पूर्ण भूतों और भौतिक गुणोंका त्याग कर देता है, उस मुनिका दुःख उसी प्रकार सुखपूर्वक अनायास नष्ट हो जाता है, जैसे सूर्योदयसे अन्धकार ।।
yaḥ sāmānyataḥ sampūrṇaṃ bhūtānāṃ bhautikaguṇānāṃ ca tyāgaṃ karoti, tasya muneḥ duḥkhaṃ tathā sukhapūrvakam anāyāsena naśyati yathā sūryodayād andhakāram. tamatikrāntakarmāṇam atikrāntaguṇakṣayam | brāhmaṇaṃ viṣayāśśliṣṭaṃ jarāmṛtyū na vindataḥ ||
ヴィヤーサは言った。「聖者が、広く徹底して、あらゆる存在への執着と物質的性質（グナ／guṇa）への執着を捨てるとき、その憂いは無理なく容易に消え去る――日の出に闇が消えるように。業（カルマ）の強制を超え、グナの支配を尽くし、ブラフマン（Brahman）を知る者として感官の対象に絡まぬ者は、老いと死に捉えられない。」
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
Suffering ends naturally when one relinquishes attachment to beings and material qualities; the Brahman-knower who is free from clinging to sense-objects and has transcended karma and the guṇas is not spiritually bound by aging and death.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on liberation, Vyāsa explains to the listener that renunciation and inner detachment lead to effortless dissolution of sorrow, using the sunrise-darkness image, and he characterizes the liberated knower as beyond karma, guṇas, and sense-attachment.
