जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
सोथयमेवं विमुच्येत नान्यथेति विनिश्चय: । परेण परधर्मा च भवत्येष समेत्य वै
so 'thayam evaṁ vimucyeta nānyatheti viniścayaḥ | pareṇa paradharmā ca bhavaty eṣa sametya vai ||
ヴァシシュタは言った。「この道によってのみ人は解き放たれる。他の道はない――これが我が確定の見解である。そして至上者と相応するとき、この道そのものが最高のダルマ（dharma）となる。」
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation is attained only by the specific discipline or insight just described; Vasiṣṭha insists there is no alternative. When aligned with the Supreme (para), that very way of living is affirmed as the highest dharma.
Vasiṣṭha is concluding a doctrinal point: he states his definitive judgment about the sole means to release and then elevates that means by declaring it ‘supreme dharma’ when it culminates in communion or accord with the Supreme.
