Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
ज्ञानेन कुरुते यत्नं यत्नेन प्राप्पते महत् | महद् द्वन््धप्रमोक्षाय सा सिद्धिरया वयो5तिगा
jñānena kurute yatnaṃ yatnena prāpyate mahat | mahad dvandva-pramokṣāya sā siddhir iyam atyagā ||
ジャナカは言った。人は智によって努力し、その努力によって「大いなるもの」(大いなる覚証)に到る。その大いなる覚証こそ、楽と苦などの二元の対立から解き放つ手段である。これが真の成就であり、時—すなわち死—さえも超え越える。
जनक उवाच
Knowledge must be made active through disciplined effort; that effort culminates in profound Self-realization, which frees one from the tyranny of opposites like pleasure and pain and is therefore a true spiritual attainment that transcends even death.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, King Janaka speaks as a teacher, explaining how sustained striving grounded in knowledge leads to the highest realization and to freedom from worldly dualities.
