Shloka 28
Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)
राजसांस्तामसांश्वैव नित्यं दोषान् विवर्जयेत् । साच््विकं मार्गमास्थाय पश्येदात्मानमात्मना
rājasāṁs tāmasāṁś caiva nityaṁ doṣān vivarjayet | sāttvikaṁ mārgam āsthāya paśyed ātmānam ātmanā ||
ジャナカ王は言った。「ラジャス（激情）とタマス（昏冥）から生じる過失を、つねに捨て去るべきである。サットヴァの道に依り、内なる澄明と鍛えられた識別によって、自己をもって自己（アートマン）を観ずるがよい。」
जनक उवाच
Educational Q&A
Abandon the recurring defects rooted in rajas (passion) and tamas (delusion), and cultivate a sāttvika mode of life; through that purity and steadiness, realize the Ātman directly by inner awareness and discernment.
In the Shanti Parva’s instructional setting, King Janaka speaks as a teacher of inner wisdom, prescribing a practical ethical-spiritual discipline: reject lower tendencies and adopt the sāttvika path so that self-realization becomes possible.
