Himalayan Hermitage, the Myth of the Thrown Spear, and Rules of Vedic Study
त्वं हि विप्रेन्द्र कार्त्स्न्येन मोक्षधर्ममुपाससे । साकलल्यं मोक्षधर्मस्य श्रोतुमिच्छामि तत्त्वतः
tvaṁ hi viprendra kārtsnyena mokṣadharmam upāsase | sākalyaṁ mokṣadharmasya śrotum icchāmi tattvataḥ ||
ಜನಕನು ಹೇಳಿದರು— ಹೇ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನೇ! ನೀನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಮೋಕ್ಷಧರ್ಮವನ್ನು ಆಚರಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವೆ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಿನ್ನದೇ ಮುಖದಿಂದ ಮೋಕ್ಷಧರ್ಮದ ಸಮಗ್ರ ತತ್ತ್ವವನ್ನು ಯಥಾರ್ಥವಾಗಿ ಕೇಳಲು ಇಚ್ಛಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.

Educational Q&A
The verse establishes the proper approach to mokṣa-dharma: one should seek the complete teaching from a realized practitioner and hear it “tattvataḥ,” i.e., in accordance with the true principle/reality, not merely as partial rules or hearsay.
King Janaka addresses a foremost Brahmin-sage, acknowledging that the sage fully practices the path of liberation, and requests a comprehensive, accurate exposition of mokṣa-dharma from him.
