Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
त्रिवर्ग सप्तधा व्यक्त यो न वेदेह कर्मसु । सड़वान् यस्त्रिवर्गंण कि तस्मिन् मुक्तलक्षणम्
trivargaḥ saptadhā vyakto yo na veda iha karmasu | saḍvān yas trivargaṃ ca kiṃ tasmin muktalakṣaṇam ||
ビーシュマは言った。「人生の三目的—ダルマ（法）、アルタ（利）、カーマ（欲）—は、行為のうちに七つの様相として現れる。行為におけるこの三目的の働きを知らぬ者、また常にこの三目的に縛られている者、そのような者に生前解脱（ジーヴァンムクティ）の徴がいかにして見いだされようか。」

Educational Q&A
Liberation is not compatible with ignorance of how dharma–artha–kāma function within action, nor with continual entanglement in them; true freedom requires discernment and non-attachment beyond the trivarga.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on conduct and liberation, Bhishma challenges the idea of jīvanmukti by asking how it could be attributed to someone who either does not understand the trivarga in practical life or remains constantly tied to it.
