वायुदेव उवाच इत्युक्त्वा स तदा वाक्यं मां पार्थ द्विजसत्तम: । मोक्षधर्माश्रित: सम्यक् तत्रैवान्तरधीयत
vāyudeva uvāca | ity uktvā sa tadā vākyaṃ māṃ pārtha dvijasattamaḥ | mokṣadharmāśritaḥ samyak tatraivāntaradhīyata ||
វាយុទេវបានមានព្រះវាចា៖ «ឱ បារថ (អర్జុន) បន្ទាប់ពីនិយាយពាក្យទាំងនេះមកខ្ញុំ នៅពេលនោះ ព្រាហ្មណ៍ដ៏ប្រសើរបំផុតក្នុងចំណោមទ្វិជ—អ្នកប្រាជ្ញដែលបានស្ថិតមាំក្នុងមោក្ខធម្ម (វិន័យនៃការរំដោះ)—បានលាក់ខ្លួនបាត់ទៅពីទីនោះតែម្តង។»

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights mokṣa-dharma as a lived commitment: a realized teacher delivers a concise, purposeful instruction and then withdraws, emphasizing that liberation depends on the disciple’s internalization and practice, not on external dependence.
Vāyudeva recounts that an eminent Brahmin-sage addressed him (with Arjuna being the listener addressed as ‘Pārtha’) and, after finishing his message, disappeared on the spot—signaling the completion and authority of the teaching episode.
