Shloka 24
मृत्योर्ब्रह्मणा नियोजनम् — The Commissioning of Mṛtyu by Brahmā
कारणं परमं प्राप्प अतिक्रान्तस्य कार्यताम् । पुनरावर्तनं नास्ति सम्प्राप्तस्थ परं पदम्
kāraṇaṁ paramaṁ prāpya atikrāntasya kāryatām | punarāvartanaṁ nāsti samprāptasya paraṁ padam ||
ヴィヤーサは言った。「至上の原因に到達し、結果の領域（働きつつ変転する自然）を越えたなら、知者は最高の境地に至る。その至上の座に到った者には、もはやこの世への再来はない。」

Educational Q&A
Liberation is described as attaining Brahman, the Supreme Cause, and thereby transcending the effect-world (prakṛti and its transformations). One who truly reaches the ‘supreme state’ is not subject to return—i.e., no further rebirth in saṁsāra.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and ultimate good, Vyāsa states a doctrinal conclusion: the realized knower who reaches the highest principle passes beyond the causal chain of worldly becoming and therefore does not re-enter worldly existence.
