Shloka 2
Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
संन्यस्यते यथा55त्मायं व्यक्तस्यात्मा यथा च यत् । परं मोक्षस्य यच्चापि तनमे ब्रूहि पितामह
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | saṁnyasyate yathātmāyaṁ vyaktasyātmā yathā ca yat | paraṁ mokṣasya yaccāpi tan me brūhi pitāmaha ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「祖父よ、この自己はいかにして執着と同一視を脱ぎ捨てるのですか。身を帯びた自己はいかにして顕現する粗大身を捨て、また具身に結びついた微細な『我』の感覚（我執）をいかにしても離れるのでしょう。かかる出離（サンニャーサ）の真の相と、解脱（モークシャ）の最高原理とを、どうか私にお説きください。」
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames liberation as a matter of renunciation of identification: understanding how the self disengages from the manifest (gross) body and also from subtler layers of embodied ‘I’-sense, and seeking the supreme principle (tattva) of mokṣa beyond both.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and dharma, Yudhiṣṭhira respectfully questions Pitāmaha Bhīṣma, asking for a precise explanation of how renunciation operates at death and in spiritual practice, and what constitutes true liberation.
